The Scent Shad is a new addition to the soft lure universe by Fox Rage for predator fishing. This major innovation lies in its maximum olfactory attractiveness to trigger aggressive strikes, even in the most educated and wary fish. Specifically designed for perch hunting, this attractive shad presents itself as the ultimate weapon for perches and pikes.
Unlike surface attractants that dissipate within minutes, the Scent Shad is deeply impregnated with the exclusive Fish Snax attractant, a proprietary formulation developed by Fox Rage. This deep impregnation ensures a constant and lasting diffusion of olfactory signals in the water throughout your fishing session.
The powerful chemical signature of Fish Snax produces three complementary effects that drastically increase your success rate:
- Long distance attraction: Predators detect the lure well before visualizing it thanks to odor molecules that spread in the water. This early detection triggers their curiosity and guides them towards your lure.
- Triggering the predatory instinct: The Fish Snax aroma directly stimulates the olfactory receptors of predators, activating their hunting instincts and promoting reflex attacks even on less active fish.
- Extension of the bite: When the fish grabs the Scent Shad, the attractant convinces it to keep the lure in its mouth longer. This extra time gives you an expanded window of strike, greatly increasing your conversion rate of touches/catches.
The SuperSoft material is the major technological innovation of the Scent Shad. This ultra-soft rubber faithfully reproduces the texture of a small live fish, fooling even the most educated predators who usually reject artificial lures.
At the moment of touch, the extreme softness of the material allows the lure to naturally bend in the fish's mouth. This deformation facilitates the penetration of the hook during the strike and drastically reduces the risks of detachment during the strike. Soft touches get converted into effective catches.
Despite its remarkable flexibility, SuperSoft rubber has extraordinary resistance to damage. The Scent Shad resists the sharp teeth of pikes, the powerful jaws of large pikes and the repetitive catches of perches without flinching.
This durability allows you to capture multiple fish with the same lure, optimizing your investment.
The Rage Shield-shaped tail is the DNA signature of this revolutionary shad. This wide and flat tail generates maximum water displacement, even during the slowest retrievals, creating irresistible pressure waves for all predators.
During slow linear retrieval, the Rage Shield tail beats with exceptional amplitude, producing low-frequency vibrations that the fish detect from far away thanks to their lateral line. This unique vibratory signature works even in:
- Murky waters where visibility is zero
- Poorly lit deep layers
- Difficult conditions where predators are apathetic
This ability to stimulate predators from a distance attracts the attention of sanders ambushed on the bottom and triggers the aggressiveness of perches in active hunting.
The mid-section rib is not just a simple aesthetic detail but a true biomechanical innovation. This structural ridge divides the body into two articulated zones that undulate independently during swimming, perfectly reproducing the movement of a healthy bait fish.
This segmentation allows optimal lateral flexibility. The lure thus develops a realistic rolling effect that creates captivating light flashes thanks to the integrated glitters that reflect light, holographic finishes that create changing light effects and three-dimensional undulations that mimic natural swimming movements.
The textured protrusions under the belly create additional turbulence in the surrounding water flow, significantly amplifying the lure's vibratory signature. Predators detect these micro-vibrations via their lateral line, even in conditions of zero visibility (murky water, night fishing, great depths).
The textured surface has a second strategic function: it perfectly holds liquid or gel attractants that you wish to add. Apply your favorite fragrance between the spikes to create a personalized olfactory cocktail suitable for:
