Berkley Flex Beat Shad 4-inch soft lure. Freshwater shad impregnated with PowerBait, pronounced tail beat, realistic profile. Ideal on a straight retrieve with a jig head for pike, walleye and perch.
The Berkley Flex Beat Shad 4 inches is part of the Flex range, soft lures incorporating Berkley's PowerBait technology combined with active designs to maximise attraction on freshwater predators. The "Beat" in its name indicates a particularly pronounced and regular tail beat.
Berkley has integrated its PowerBait formula directly into the plastisol of the Flex Beat Shad. This formula based on biochemical attractants has been scientifically developed and tested to stimulate predatory behaviour. Fish that strike a PowerBait lure hold onto it 18 times longer than an untreated lure before spitting it out. In practice, this means more successful hook-sets, particularly on hesitant bites or in difficult conditions.
The tail of the Flex Beat Shad produces a characteristic "beat" (regular and rhythmic) action that is maintained across a wide range of retrieve speeds. This wide beat generates low-frequency vibrations that travel through the entire water column, attracting predators from their ambush positions. At 4 inches (approximately 10cm), this shad is the ideal size to trigger strikes from walleye, pike and perch of all sizes.
