On a twitch retrieve, the fins flare outward and the body rocks side-to-side; on a steady retrieve, the body rotates left-to-right on its own axis while gliding forward with a shimmering flash. This is a different action profile to a paddle-tail or split-tail shad, and is designed to trigger reaction strikes from bass, bream, flathead and similar species in slow, finesse presentations. Available in three sizes and 8 colour options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWing-Fin Strolling Action — How It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Drunk Shad's action is generated by two broad, flat pectoral fins moulded on either side of the body, just behind the head. These fins are the defining structural difference between this lure and a standard shad body. The action diagram in the product images shows two distinct behaviours depending on retrieve style:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwitch retrieve (Strolling action):\u003c\/strong\u003e when the rod tip is twitched, the fins extend outward from the body's centre of gravity. The resistance of the fins against the water on each twitch causes the body to rock and sway in an exaggerated rolling motion. The result is a wide, slow, wounded-baitfish rock — the kind of movement that triggers predator instinct in bass and flathead holding near structure. The Chinese product description confirms: \"on a twitch, the two side fins extend the body's centre of gravity outward, the whole rig easily presents the Strolling rolling and swaying action.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteady retrieve (Axis rotation):\u003c\/strong\u003e on a constant slow retrieve, the lure rotates left-to-right around its own central axis, advancing with repeated flashes from the glitter-embedded body. The fin resistance creates a spiral, wobbling glide — the \"drunk\" behaviour the name refers to. At slow retrieve speeds the lure sinks naturally between pulses, producing a sink-and-glide pattern when combined with pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSlow Sinking — Sink-and-Glide Presentations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Drunk Shad is rated slow sinking — it descends at a controlled rate under its own weight on the pause. Weights confirmed from the spec chart:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.7inch (67mm) — 2.0g\u003c\/strong\u003e: sinks very slowly; suited to ultra-finesse presentations in shallow water (0.5–1.5m) or suspended fish; 7pcs per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.2inch (81mm) — 3.4g\u003c\/strong\u003e: moderate sink rate; versatile for mid-depth estuary and dam fishing; suited to jig heads in the 1–3g range; 6pcs per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.7inch (92mm) — 4.9g\u003c\/strong\u003e: heavier sink; better for deeper presentations or current; suits larger target species; 5pcs per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slow sink rate makes the Drunk Shad particularly effective when fish are suspended off the bottom or holding at a specific depth layer. Cast, count down to the target depth, then alternate twitches with pauses to hold the lure in the strike zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3D lifelike eye:\u003c\/strong\u003e a moulded 3D eye with a gold iris and dark pupil is set into the head on each side. The eye is recessed rather than flat-printed, giving it depth and a realistic light-catching quality. In clear water, predatory fish key on the eye of prey during an attack — a convincing eye detail increases commitment to the strike, particularly from bream and bass in pressured or clear-water environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlitter-embedded body:\u003c\/strong\u003e multi-colour glitter flake is embedded throughout the translucent soft plastic body, visible in the macro images as red, black and silver specks. On the axis-rotation retrieve, each rotation briefly catches and reflects light from a different angle, producing a continuous flash sequence that mimics the iridescent flank of a live baitfish. The glitter is internal (not surface coating), so it persists throughout the life of the lure regardless of fish strikes or wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSegmented ribbing:\u003c\/strong\u003e the body has moulded horizontal ribbing segments along the flanks, confirmed in the close-up images. The ribbing serves two purposes: it creates micro water turbulence along the body surface on the retrieve (vibration that fish detect through their lateral line) and it provides grip texture when rigging, helping jig hooks hold position on the hook shank without sliding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTail design by size:\u003c\/strong\u003e the 2.7inch and 3.2inch sizes have a fine needle\/pin tail that produces a subtle quiver action; the 3.7inch has a forked tail for a wider, more active tail kick at larger sizes, confirmed in the product description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRigging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Drunk Shad is designed to be rigged on a jig head, with the hook point exiting through the back behind the wing fins. The flat wing fins lie flat against the body when rigged on a standard round-head jig, which prevents the fins from fouling the hook. For the Strolling action to work correctly, the hook should be rigged straight through the body centreline — an offset or crooked rig will unbalance the axis-rotation and reduce the rolling action. Recommended jig head weight: 1–2g for 2.7inch, 2–3g for 3.2inch, 3–5g for 3.7inch, depending on target depth and current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Options and Target Species\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 colour options are available across most sizes, covering natural baitfish, chartreuse, natural prawns, and dark\/UV patterns. Natural patterns (blue-white, speckle, translucent) for clear water and selective fish; chartreuse\/neon for stained water or low-light conditions; dark patterns for deep or overcast conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTarget species: Australian bass, bream, flathead, whiting, trevally, estuary perch, and any species that feeds on small baitfish in structured or open
