Phat Pak Baits
5" Drunkin Shad
5" Drunkin Shad
Phat Pak Difference: Our softer plastisol gives the 5" Drunkin Shad more lifelike action than traditional soft jerkbaits. It darts, glides, and falls like a wounded baitfish, giving bass an easy target around docks, grass, shade lines, and schooling fish.
Why Anglers Stock Up: Lifelike fluke-style action. Match-the-hatch color selection. Industry Leading Pak Size.
Stock-Up Tip: Most anglers grab 2–3 colors so they can adjust to water clarity, light conditions, and baitfish activity throughout the day.

Why Anglers Throw It: Built for lifelike fluke-style baitfish action. The 5" Drunkin Shad is a soft jerkbait made to dart, glide, and flutter like wounded shad around docks, grass, overhanging cover, and schooling fish.

Recommended Setup
Recommended Setup
For the classic weightless fluke-style presentation, rig the 5" Drunkin Shad texposed on an EWG hook.
Use a 7' medium-light to medium spinning rod with 12 lb braid to a 6–8 lb fluorocarbon leader. Cast or skip the bait around docks, grass, shade lines, and busting fish. Let it fall on semi-slack line, give it 1–2 rod twitches, then let it glide and fall again.
For extra casting distance or a faster fall, insert a small 3/32 oz weight into the underside of the nose.

Great quality and nice color
I use the 2.75 befoee and was amazing
I could not tell you how many fish I caught on this bait last summer and fall. Zoom used to make this color glad phat pak knew better than to discontinue it.
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.

Our 5' Drunkin Shads are injected with a softer plastic, making them more lifelike, increasing the hookup and bite ratio from hungry bass
