Our 5" Drunkin Shad is the perfect "Fluke" style soft Jerkbait. At 5" it's just the right size to not only catch average 1 to 2 pounders, but it will also catch big 'uns. It's excellent when skipped under docks, overhanging cover, or thrown into a group of bustin' fish, gorging on shad. When fished weightless it mimics a dying shad - erratically darting and fluttering away as it slowly sinks.
We use a medium grade plastisol to give it toughness when being skipped, placed into hard to reach places, or inside the mouth of a fish. It also has enough suppleness in the twin tail as it flutters, to give it the action needed to entice the bass into biting.
Rigging
Rigging
The ideal rig we've found for these is fished weightless on an EWG, Texposed, using a 7' Medium light spinning rod, on 12lb braid to an 8lb florocarbon leader. Cast or skip the bait into the cover, allow it fall on semi slack line, give it 1 to 2 rod twitches, than let the bait fall. Rinse and repeat. You can also insert a small 3/32oz weight on the underside of the nose giving it extra casting distance and a faster rate of fall
Additional Rigging Options:
Dual Fluke Rig aka Donkey Rig
EWG Texposed - aka Weightless Fluke
Damiki Rig
Hover Rig
Hover Strolling
Nose Hooked
Chatterbait Trailer
Underspin Trailer
Spinnerbait Trailer
Splitshot
Carolina Rig
Ned Rig Shroomz Head
Neko
Flippin/Pitchin

Retrieve
Retrieve
When used on a weightless EWG hook, cast it out, let it fall to the depth the fish are out and give it a pop, pop, pause action with the rod, and reel up the slack. This will cause the bait to dart and dance erratically. Usually on the pause the bite will occur as the bait slowly sinks back down through the water column.
Rod/Reel/Line
Rod/Reel/Line
Use a 7' Medium Fast tip spinning rod paired up on a 1500 or 2500 series reel, with 12lb braid to a 6-8lb Fluorocarbon leader.

Great quality. Amazing color patterns quick shipping. Absolutely recommend seller. I will definitely purchase more in the near future.
I’ve found the quality of the drunken shad to be better than the Zoom.
Our 5' Drunkin Shad soft jerkbaits are injected with a much softer plastisol than zoom uses which gives them more action, resulting in a more lifelike appearance, tricking those fish into biting.
The only way I fish this bait is a donkey shot rig.
Phat Pak makes the best fluke style bait. Outclasses Zoom baits by a long shot, a long donkey shot. Smokin shad, bluegill.
