The Wacky Shad is a very effective finesse type worm. It can be fished multiple ways and thus the diversity of these baits makes it such a popular item for Optimum. Recently, many anglers are using the Wacky Shad for their drop shot bait because of its realistic eyes and the slim profile which emulates a wounded baitfish. It can also be twitched with a darter head or can be popped across the surface without any weight at all.
