Zander have a reputation for being extremely wary fish that are difficult
to hook. To develop an optimal zander shad, you need to know the
feeding behaviour:
Bait Shape: The zander does not bite, like a pike for example, but swims
up very close up to the prey and then rapidly opens its mouth, creating
a negative pressure that sucks in the prey. This accounts for why zander
prefer slender softbaits that are particularly easy to suck in.
Tail Plate: Unlike the pike, zander generally avoid strongly flanked softbaits
with sweeping tail plates. They prefer to lunge after a compact tail
plate that glides smoothly through the water.

Colours: The colours of the bait also play a major role. The colour should,
at the least, awaken its hunting instinct, or at least make it curious.
Because of the residual-light amplifier in its eyes, UV-active colours are
the special key to a winning strike!
Odour: When the zanders are rather listless, the tackle box should have
some aromatic baits tucked away. It is then not only the movement that
inspires the zander to suck in the bait, but mainly the smell. Trials have
shown that zander are particularly fond of the “squid” taste.
Suspending: The Z-Shad is suspending, making it play seductively even
with the smallest of rod movements. Thanks to the buoyancy, it is also
ideal for fishing on drop shot- , Texas. or Carolina rigs.
Thanks to the combined experience of our Pro Staff team, we have come
up with a superlative zander bait that combines all the above points.
