Okie Scraps - 5" Jerk Shad

Okie Scraps - 5" Jerk Shad

Product Overview

The 5" Okie Jerk Shad is the big brother of our soft plastic lineup, offering a larger profile for anglers targeting bigger bites and more aggressive predators. This fluke-style bait features a heavy-duty, hydrodynamic body with a deep belly slot and a tapered split tail that produces a violent, life-like flicker. Poured in our Okie Scraps remelt, the 5" Jerk Shad delivers a complex, "dirty" finish that perfectly mimics large, stressed forage like gizzard shad or hitch. Sold in packs of at least 6 baits.

Adaptive Design

• Increased Casting Distance: The added bulk and length of the 5" model provide more weight for long-distance casting, allowing you to cover more water and reach spooky fish in open flats or deep ledges.

• The "Scrap" Camouflage: Our Okie Scraps blend creates a variegated, multi-tonal silhouette. This "junk" color breaks up the bait's outline in the water, making it look like a living, breathing organism rather than a solid piece of plastic.

• Maximum Hook Gap: The deep belly slot is specifically designed to accommodate larger 4/0 to 5/0 EWG hooks, ensuring a clean collapse and a high-ratio hook set even when fishing in heavy cover.

• High-Impact Durability: Formulated from our premium scrap remelt, this bait is built to withstand the high-speed "rip" of a power-jerk retrieve and stay pinned through multiple aggressive strikes.

Tactical Rigging

• The "Power" Weightless Rig: Rig it on a 5/0 EWG hook for a slow-sinking, erratic presentation. The larger 5" profile provides a significant "thump" on the twitch that calls fish in from a distance.

• Weighted Swimbait Hook: Add a 1/8 oz or 1/4 oz belly-weighted hook to reach deeper weed lines or bridge pilings. The Okie Scraps colorway excels in these darker, subsurface environments.

• Magnum Swim Jig Trailer: When you need a "kicker" fish, use the 5" Jerk Shad as a trailer on a heavy swim jig. It provides a massive baitfish silhouette and a distinct, rhythmic tail-flick that triggers big-fish instincts.
