Now featuring a specially designed tungsten sound chamber that emits a unique double tapping cadence, the Strike King Red Eye Shad Tungsten 2 Tap still delivers the same tournament winning features as the original Red Eye Shads. The unique sound that the Tungsten 2 Tap produces has been proven to trigger fish to bite that otherwise may not have. A great choice for pressured fishing conditions, the subtle change in sound can make all the difference on tournament day. Featuring amazing paint jobs, premium hooks, and 3D eyes as well, the Strike King Red Eye Shad Tungsten 2 Tap has what it takes to turn your day around.
Catches Big Bass in Colder Water TempsMid December in Florida stained water I threw on a Fire Craw color Red Eyed Shad 2 Tap crankin in 1-4 ft colder water . I Landed a 6.44 lb Large Mouth and 2 other 3 lb’s within an hour on small lake next to pilings. These flat sided lures work in cold snaps and I have the pics to back it up. :)

Comments: Used this SK Red Eye Shad 2 tap yesterday and put up big numbers with multiple keepers over 18" however after half day of use its not tracking straight.

Comments: Get the Booyah One Knocker instead of this one! This one rolls over and becomes useless if it gets a grain of rice on it's hooks! You'll spend all day with a listing bait that looks nothing like bait to bass. The Booyah One Knocker can carry a bush on it's hooks and still runs straight and true! World of difference. One works, one is awful!

Comments: This is by far one of the best knocker type lipless cranks out there but it's performance in grass and durability are poor. It will last around 50 fish before it cracks open at the seam. I've replaced a half dozen so far this year.

Comments: Went down to FLA for fishing vacation. I made sure I brought with me my favorite lures. Included was 3/4 ounce Red Eye Shads. I've had luck back up North in Massachusetts. I was fishing a clear water lake so I decided to n break out my tungsten 2 tap Natural Bream. Fishing from my boat,I cast it to the shoreline where the drop off was located. BANG on my second cast something took it. Didn't feel like anything too big, but when it got near my boat where I saw it & it saw me, it took off like a bad out of hell. I finally landed it after a good fight, it was a 7lb pre-spawn bass. Before I caught ,monster I Tungsten 2 Tap made the difference. It made unusual sound that it may not of heard of before. In Red Eye Shad I believe!!!!

Comments: I LOVE the Red Eye Shad for lipless crankin'.... and with these new Tungsten 2 Taps, I got bit 4-5x within 10 mins, one bein' a 5+lber. I have to believe it's that "different" sound because we worked the same area an hour before and I got only a quarter of the bites I got when I changed to the T2T. This is a great bait and we especially got bit when we snapped it out of the veggies.... could almost expect to get bit when we snapped it. Only concern is that the eyes on two of them came off easily, though I wasn't aware...still got bit. I put 3 new eyes on and sealed them with clear nail polish. I don't think the absence of the eyes made any difference with the hits I kept getting...nice to have them on though.

Comments: Just when you thought the Red Eye Shad couldn't get any better, BOOM! Strike King one-ups themselves again! I've won thousands of dollars on the original Strike King Red Eye Shad in the past and have already won over $1000 this year on the 1/2oz Strike King Tungsten Two-Tap! Sometimes you need to throw something slightly different from the competition, and that's why I bought the new Strike King Tungsten Two-Taps!

Comments: It's really hard to beat this lure most times, it's a huge confidence booster & usually gets bit. The design is flawless too. Great lure & I have many of them.
