About this piece
The Daiwa Ricky Shad is a soft plastic shad tail worm specifically engineered for worm jigging. It excels in situations where conventional metal jigs fail, such as when fish become wary or in shallow water. The slow-retrieve capability allows subtle, horizontal presentations that are difficult to achieve with metal jigs.
