The Scent Shad from Fox Rage revolutionizes soft lure fishing by combining technological innovation and maximum olfactory attraction. This scented shad triggers frank attacks even on the most suspicious predators thanks to its arsenal of characteristics designed for educated fish.
The Scent Shad is infused with the Fish Snax fragrance, an exclusive formulation developed by Fox Rage to maximize the lure's attraction. Unlike surface scents that dissipate quickly, this deep impregnation diffuses constant olfactory signals in the water.
This powerful chemical signature produces three decisive effects :
- Attraction from a distance: Predators detect the lure well before they see it
- Attack trigger: The scent stimulates the predation instinct
- Better mouth grip: Fish retain the lure in the mouth longer, drastically increasing the hooking rate
The SuperSoft material is the technological heart of the Scent Shad. This ultra-flexible gum has a realistic texture that deceives even the most educated predators. At the time of attack, the lure naturally compresses in the fish's mouth, facilitating the penetration of the hook.
This extreme flexibility in no way alters its durability. The Scent Shad remarkably resists the sharp teeth of pikes and the powerful jaws of large zanders, allowing you to catch several fish with the same lure.
The unique shield-shaped Rage tail is the major innovation of this shad. This wide caudal generates extreme water displacement even at the slowest retrieval speeds, creating irresistible pressure waves for predators.
In slow linear animation, the ample tail beat produces low frequency vibrations that carry far in turbid or deep water. This vibratory signature attracts the attention of lurking zanders and actively hunting perch.
The mid-section rib is not just a simple aesthetic detail. This structural ridge divides the body into two articulated zones that undulate independently during swimming. The resulting movement perfectly mimics the locomotion of a healthy forage fish.
This segmentation also allows for better lateral flexibility, the lure developing a realistic rolling that generates captivating light flashes thanks to the glitter and holographic finishes.
The points under the belly serve a dual innovative tactical function :
- Increase in vibrations: These outgrowths create additional turbulence in the water flow, amplifying the vibratory signature of the lure. Predators detect these micro-vibrations via their lateral line, even in zero visibility conditions.
- Attractant reservoir: The textured surface perfectly retains liquid or gel attractants that you wish to add. Apply your favorite scent between the spikes to create a personalized olfactory cocktail suitable for your waters and target fish.
The Scent Shad incorporates strategic slots for weedless rigging under the belly and at the rear. These pre-cuts facilitate the insertion of Texas-style hooks, making the lure almost snag-proof for fishing :
- Dense algae clusters where perch and pike hide
- Submerged woods frequented by zanders
- Rocky areas without fear of losing equipment
- Surface lilies for explosive attacks
The Rage Scent Shad has been specially developed to optimize the capture of perches. Every aspect of its design responds to the specific hunting behaviors of the common perch and the lucioperca zander :
For perch
- Compact profile mimicking bleak and roach
- Intense vibrations triggering bank aggressiveness
- 7 and 9 cm sizes perfect for medium to large zebras
- Vivid action matching their rapid attack mode
For zander
- Soft swim adapted to their methodical attacks
- Fish Snax scent prolonging the gorging phase
- 11 and 13 cm sizes ideal for large specimens
- Texas rigging for fishing cluttered posts
The Scent Shad can be used with several animations :
- Slow linear animation: Continuous recovery at reduced speed activates the hypnotic beat of the Rage Shield tail. Ideal for stationed zanders and hunting perch.
- Vertical and traction: In boat, scraping fishing with vertical pulls followed by pauses perfectly exploits the flexibility of the SuperSoft material and the attractiveness of the scent.
- Drop Shot: Mounted in drop shot, the Scent Shad wriggles on the spot irresistibly, diffusing its aroma in the strike zone.
- Texas weedless rigging: For prospecting cluttered areas without snags, Texas rigging transforms this shad into a formidable anti-weed weapon.
- Carolina Rig: The Carolina setup allows you to drag the Scent Shad slowly on the bottom, leaving a scent trail that zanders follow to the attack.
