The Gadsden is the first custom bait designed by Founder Taylor Magditch—a finesse baitfish profile built to excel on a drop shot and just as deadly on Ned, Neko, and Damiki rigs. A ribbed spine frees up side-to-side movement, a cupped tail adds micro-flutter, and 3D eyes finish the illusion. From a kayak or boat, it’s the stealth play when bass are studying every detail.
