The Reaction Innovations Shiver Shot is a 3.65-inch shad-style soft plastic built around a shiver tail that produces action with the slightest flick of the rod tip — on a drop shot, the tail shivers and vibrates at rest with minimal rod input; on a jig head, it swims with a realistic baitfish action; on a Carolina rig, the tail shimmies on the drift. The durable yet supple plastic maintains the tail action through repeated strikes. 9 per pack in 8 colors spanning shad, crawfish, and attractor patterns.

Key Features

• Shiver Tail — Action on the Slightest Rod Input — The Shiver Shot’s tail is designed to produce a shivering, vibrating action with the smallest rod tip movement or current; on a drop shot, the tail shivers at rest and on the fall with minimal rod input, producing a lifelike baitfish action that triggers strikes from bass that are watching the bait closely; the tail action is most pronounced on a drop shot where the bait is suspended in the strike zone and the tail moves freely.
• Durable Yet Supple Plastic — Maintains Tail Action — The plastic formulation is durable enough to withstand repeated strikes while remaining supple enough for the tail to move freely with minimal resistance; the balance between durability and suppleness is what allows the tail to produce action with the slightest rod input rather than requiring aggressive rod movement.
• Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective on drop shots, Carolina rigs, and jig heads (fished like a fluke or swimbait); the 3.65" profile fits a wide range of hook sizes and jig head weights across all three applications.
• 8 Colors — 9 Per Pack — Eight colors spanning shad imitations (Sexy Shad, Bad Shad Green, Small Mouth Magic, Pride Shad), crawfish/creature patterns (Magic Craw Red, Green Pumpkin Purple & Copper Flake), and attractor colors (Spring Break, Poutine); nine baits per pack.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Drop Shot — Primary Application — The Shiver Shot’s tail action is most effective on a drop shot where the bait is suspended in the strike zone; nose-hook or wacky-hook on a drop shot hook and suspend above the bottom; the tail shivers at rest and on the fall with minimal rod input, triggering strikes from bass that are holding tight to bottom structure or suspended in the water column; most effective in clear water and post-frontal conditions.
• Carolina Rig — Effective on a Carolina rig for covering open water, points, and transition areas; the tail shimmies on the drift and produces action on the pause, triggering strikes from roaming bass; use a 1–2 ft leader for a natural, drifting presentation.
• Jig Head — Swimbait Style — Thread on a 1/8–3/16 oz jig head and swim steadily for a baitfish imitation presentation similar to a fluke or paddle tail swimbait; the shiver tail produces a swimming action on the retrieve that triggers strikes from bass feeding on baitfish.

Features:

• The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 is a smaller profile version of the original.
• Measures just under 3 inches, weighs just over 1/2 ounce.
• Propeller-like tail rotates and creates tons of surface commotion.
• Creates alluring rumbles at a variety of retrieve speeds.

The legendary Daiwa TD Minnow 95SP Suspending Jerkbait is back — the exact same tournament-proven design that won countless bass tournaments when it was first introduced. The slim and compact profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature darting, side-to-side action on the jerk that has made it one of the most imitated jerkbaits in freshwater fishing. The internal weight transfer system shifts weight rearward on the cast for maximum distance, then repositions forward on the pause to achieve the critical suspending (SP) action that keeps the bait hanging motionless in the strike zone — the pause that triggers reaction strikes from bass and trout when nothing else will. 

Key Features

• Tournament-Proven Design — The original TD Minnow 95SP won countless bass tournaments when first introduced; this is the exact same design — not a reissue or update — with the same slim profile, same action, and same tournament-winning performance that made it a legend in freshwater jerkbait fishing.
• Suspending (SP) Action — Suspending designation means the bait achieves neutral buoyancy at depth and hangs motionless on the pause; the pause is the primary trigger for reaction strikes from bass and trout — a suspending jerkbait stays in the strike zone longer than a floating jerkbait, giving fish more time to commit.
• Internal Weight Transfer System — Internal weight shifts rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance; repositions forward on the pause to achieve neutral buoyancy and the suspending action; allows the TD Minnow to be cast significantly farther than fixed-weight jerkbaits of the same size.
• Slim & Compact Profile — Slim, elongated minnow profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature tight, darting side-to-side action on the jerk; compact 3 3/4" body matches the profile of shad, smelt, and small baitfish that bass and trout key on in clear water conditions.
• 3 3/4" / 1/4 oz — Versatile size for bass and trout across a range of water depths and conditions; 1/4 oz weight provides the casting distance needed for covering water on large lakes and reservoirs.

Specs

• Length: 3 3/4" (95mm)
• Weight: 1/4 oz
• Action: Suspending (SP)
• Type: Jerkbait / Hard Bait
• Colors: Ghost Pink, Ayu, Bone, Wakasagi, Black Gold

Color Guide

• Ghost Pink — Translucent pink finish; effective in clear water and low-light conditions; pink tones trigger reaction strikes from bass keying on shad and small baitfish in clear water.
• Ayu — Natural ayu (sweetfish) imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for bass and trout in clear water where natural color matching is critical; classic Japanese jerkbait colorway.
• Bone — High-contrast white/bone finish; effective attractor color in stained water and low-light conditions; bone tones provide visibility when natural colors lose effectiveness in off-color water.
• Wakasagi — Natural smelt/wakasagi imitation; realistic silver-blue baitfish profile for clear water bass and trout targeting smelt and small baitfish; classic Japanese tournament colorway.
• Black Gold — High-contrast black and gold finish; effective in stained water, overcast conditions, and low-light periods; black/gold combination provides maximum contrast and flash for triggering reaction strikes.

Best For

• Bass Fishing — Tournament-proven jerkbait for largemouth and smallmouth bass; suspending action and slim profile are most effective in clear to lightly stained water during cold water periods (fall, winter, early spring) when bass are lethargic and require a longer pause to trigger strikes.
• Trout — Slim minnow profile and natural colorways (Ayu, Wakasagi) match the smelt and small baitfish that trout key on in clear lakes and reservoirs; suspending action keeps the bait in the trout’s strike zone on the pause.
• Clear Water & Cold Water Conditions — Suspending jerkbaits are most effective in clear water where fish can track the bait and in cold water where a longer pause is needed to trigger strikes from lethargic fish; the TD Minnow’s slim profile and natural colorways are optimized for these conditions.
• Long-Distance Casting — Internal weight transfer system provides the casting distance needed for covering large flats, points, and open water on reservoirs and lakes where fish are spread out and covering water is critical.

Specifications

The Daiwa Legalis LT Spinning Reel is built on Daiwa’s LT (Light & Tough) Concept — a carbon-based composite body that is significantly lighter than conventional reel materials while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for a full day of fishing without fatigue. The ABS (Advanced Ballistic System) spool delivers longer, more accurate casts by optimizing line flow off the spool, while the Air Rotor and Air Bail — both carbon composite — reduce rotational inertia for a lighter, more responsive feel on the retrieve. Available in 8 sizes from LT 1000D to LT 6000D for freshwater applications from ultralight trout to heavier bass and inshore use. 

Key Features

• LT (Light & Tough) Carbon Composite Body — Body constructed from a carbon-based composite material that is much lighter than conventional aluminum or graphite reel bodies; greater strength-to-weight ratio reduces overall reel weight for reduced fatigue during extended casting and retrieves over a full day of fishing.
• ABS Spool (Advanced Ballistic System) — Spool geometry engineered to optimize line flow during the cast; reduces line coil memory and friction as line leaves the spool for longer, more accurate casts with both mono and braid; oversize spool design holds more line and allows more pressure to be applied to hooked gamefish.
• Air Rotor — Carbon composite rotor design reduces rotational inertia compared to conventional rotors; lighter rotor means faster line pickup and more responsive feel on the retrieve; Air Rotor construction maintains equivalent strength to conventional rotors at reduced weight.
• Air Bail — Carbon composite bail arm is lighter and stronger than conventional wire bail designs; reduced bail weight contributes to the overall LT weight reduction without sacrificing the durability needed for repeated bail opening and closing under fishing pressure.
• Machined Aluminum Handle — Machined aluminum handle provides a rigid, zero-flex connection between the angler and the reel; eliminates the handle wobble and flex of conventional handle attachment systems for a more direct, responsive feel on the retrieve.
• 5BB + 1RB Bearing System — 5 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing (6 total) for smooth, reliable operation across the full retrieve range; bearing placement at key load points for long-term smooth performance in freshwater applications.

Size Guide & Suffix Decoder

• D — Deep spool; holds more line than the standard spool for the same size designation; best when additional line capacity is needed for longer casts or deeper water applications.
• XH — Extra High gear ratio; fastest retrieve speed in the size; best for techniques requiring fast line recovery or burning presentations.
• C — Compact body; same internal components as the standard size but in a smaller, lighter body; best when a smaller physical reel size is preferred without sacrificing line capacity.

Available Sizes

Best For

• Trout & Ultralight Freshwater — LT 1000D and 2000D sizes deliver the lightweight, sensitive platform needed for trout and ultralight freshwater applications; carbon LT body and Air Rotor reduce overall weight for reduced fatigue during extended casting on streams and lakes.
• Bass Fishing — 2500D through 4000D-C sizes for bass across a range of techniques; ABS spool for longer casts on open water, machined aluminum handle for direct feel during hooksets and fights with large bass.
• Walleye & Multi-Species — 2000D through 3000D-C sizes for walleye and multi-species freshwater applications; LT body weight reduction reduces fatigue during long days of jigging and live bait presentations.
• Light Inshore Saltwater — 4000D-C through 6000D sizes for light inshore saltwater applications; carbon composite construction provides corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; ABS spool for longer casts on open flats and inshore structure.
