Mirror Image Darting Shad Lures Big Fish

The Mirror Image Darting Shad is a high-performance lure designed to replicate the appearance and motion of a wounded baitfish, effectively drawing strikes from predatory species. One of its standout features is a reflective mylar insert inside the body, which produces a multicolored flash as it moves through the water, catching the attention of nearby fish in a wide range of conditions.

Adding to its lifelike presentation, the Darting Shad is equipped with a tantalizing sickle tail that creates dynamic movement in the water. This unique tail design enhances the lure’s natural action, making it even more enticing to game fish. When paired with short jerks of the rod tip, the lure darts left and right in an erratic, fleeing motion that predatory fish such as Bass, Crappie, Trout, Walleye, and Striper find irresistible.

The Darting Shad is available in three sizes and weights—2 inches (1/8 oz.), 3 inches (1/4 oz.), and 5 inches (1/2 oz.)—allowing anglers to match the hatch and fish effectively in various environments. Whether using a casting or spinning setup, this lure performs exceptionally well year-round, making it a versatile addition to any tackle box.

Best results are achieved by fishing the Darting Shad around points and current breaks, where predator fish lie in ambush. A medium retrieve speed, combined with strategic rod tip jerks, will bring the lure to life and trigger aggressive strikes.
