NAYS DRV 65 soft plastic lure

A large shad designed for big predatory fish

The Nays DRV 65 is a shad-style soft plastic lure developed to deliver particularly lively action and displace a large amount of water. Its distinctive design maximizes side-to-side body movement, producing pronounced body roll and side flashes that mimic the movements of a baitfish.

This version is an excellent choice for targeting pike and large zander, especially when predatory fish are looking for sizable prey.

Thanks to its strong vibrations, the DRV 65 can stimulate predatory fish even in difficult conditions or when they are less active.

Powerful, enticing action at low speeds

The Nays DRV 65’s main strength is its ability to produce especially pronounced swimming action, even on very slow retrieves.

Its paddle tail generates steady vibrations while its body produces a wide rolling motion, creating especially enticing side flashes.

Together, these movements displace a large volume of water and attract predatory fish from a distance. This is especially useful when fishing slowly and giving fish an extended presentation to trigger a strike.

A shape optimized for pronounced body roll

Within the Nays shad range, the DRV falls between the PRDTR and VNM models in terms of swimming action.

It combines a relatively slender shape with a slightly raised back. This geometry promotes wide, consistent body roll while maintaining balanced swimming action.

This design combines a shad’s vibrations with strong side-to-side movement, creating a presentation that is particularly effective for large predatory fish.

Excellent versatility for pike fishing

The Nays DRV 65 performs particularly well on a slow, straight retrieve when rigged on a suitable jig head. It lets you effectively work shorelines, drop-offs, flats and areas frequented by pike.

It also works well with lift-and-fall retrieves and when fished near the bottom, where its powerful vibrations and body roll help trigger strikes.

The large amount of water it displaces makes it particularly useful in stained water or when predatory fish need to locate prey by its vibrations.
