Overview
The Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm gives anglers yet another reason to fish Gary Yamamoto Baits. Combining the elements of a ribbed Senko and a tiny shad-like bait, these finesse worms are an ideal choice for drop shotting and darter heading, as well as, a range of other applications. Popular in Japan prior to their release in North America, the Yamamoto Shad Shape Worms offer a killer bait fish presentation that won't overpower the situation if the fish get finicky.

Not Just For Drop ShotI have invented my own rigging technique for this bait and similar baits. This bait catches fish when you just let it sink on it's own, sort of like a senko. It's a powerful bait for catching schooling fish and fish on vertical structure.

Comments: Bought a pack. They are very frail. Regardless of how I rig it, these baits tear easily. Wouldn't buy again.

Comments: I guess I would have to give up fishing if they ever discontinued the Shad Shape Worm. Thankfully, TW finally started carrying my "secret weapon" color. You'll have to buy one of every color, like I did to discover it! okay, just don't tell anyone, its black back w/clear blk fleck bottom.

Comments: Best drop shot bait for smallmouth period! You really don't have to do anything with it. Just fish it as if you were fishing live bait and let it do its thing. Smallmouths just can't stand it. It catches largemouths and walleyes, too!

Comments: This is a great drop shot bait. Of course it's a Yamamoto bait so buy two packs because they catch fish.

Comments: Absolutely slaughtered the Smallies on Lake St. Clair this past weekend with the baby bass color on a drop shot. Mimicked the baitfish very well and caught multiple 4+ lb. smallmouth with them

Comments: when all else failed.. this was the answer. Another great yet simple bait. GYB!!
From: Hmongbass: madison, wi
Comments: These just work for smallies in clear water! Better than anything I've tried... But whats funny is that they seem to be upside down in these photos.. I usually nose hook them with the flat side on the bottom and the "hump" facing upwards... IDK, maybe I do it backwards, but they work!!

From: Fishkiller01: Yonkers, NY
Comments: Great bait! I use this bait for drop shottin. I was worried at first b/c Senkos dont last too long. Its a lot more more durable than the Senkos however. Green with black and gold is my favorite.

Comments: This is a great bait for skittish fish in clear water for both LMB and SMB. We fish them on an original slider head 1/16 oz in water from 5-25 ft. The smokes, and greens are hard to beat in clear water. Green w/ Black and Gold is my favorite color.
From: Jeff: New Jersey, USA
Comments: I love this bait. It has been my go to bait for smallmouth on the upper Potomac. They seem to hit this bait when nothing else is producing. Caught my biggest smallmouth using this worm.
From: Charles: Manassas, VA
Comments:Hey this is a great bait for river smallmouth here in PA. We are fishing them on a 1/8 gopher head jig, and skipping them across the rocky bottom. We caught 20 fish between 2 people in about 4 hours. The smoke, and pumkin colors appear to work best.
