The elongated tail of the X Zone Whiplash Shad is its most important characteristic in my opinion. It’s not a short, stubby tail like many other soft jerkbaits on the market. The added length isn’t just for looks, either. The action of the Whiplash Shad is incredible when you let it fall on slack line.
I like to cover a lot of water with this bait, but when it comes by an isolated piece of cover such as a stump or dock post, I’ll kill the action immediately. As it falls, the entire body quivers back and forth which gets a bunch of bites in tough conditions.
Because of this awesome action requires zero technique or rod movement from the angler, the Whiplash Shad is an excellent option for anglers of all skill levels. Anyone can catch fish on this bait.
