About this piece
The Shimano Nessa Metal Drive Shad is a 3.2-inch soft plastic shad tail designed specifically for the Metal Drive jig head system. Its unique shape and durable, scented material create a wide wobbling action that pairs with the metal body's tight flashing to attract flounder. A new structure allows the tail to fold against the body during casting for reduced air resistance and extended distance, then easily returns to its swimming position on the retrieve.
