A Compact Shad for FFS, Vertical Jigging, and Drop Shots
Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 days
When suspended or lethargic fish call for a slower, more controlled presentation, the V&M Vertical Shad gives anglers a compact baitfish profile built for vertical work. This 3-inch soft plastic is suited to forward-facing sonar, vertical jigging, and drop shot presentations where keeping a bait around reluctant fish can matter.

Use the Vertical Shad when fish are suspended and a fast-moving presentation is getting ignored. Pair it with a small jighead for vertical jigging or nose hook it on a drop shot, then slow the presentation down and keep the bait around fish you can see on forward-facing sonar. Its compact profile also makes sense when fish are reluctant to commit to a larger offering.
