The Strike King Red Eye Shad 1/2oz Citrus Shad is a lipless crankbait built to match how bass actually hunt shad in your lake. This half-ounce profile walks a tight, erratic path on the retrieve and delivers genuine hunting appeal with a natural citrus shad finish that works year-round. Whether you're casting grass flats, working rocky banks, or probing deeper structure, the Red Eye Shad has earned its reputation as the go-to choice for anglers who want consistent catches backed by real tournament-level design.
What sets this crankbait apart is the combination of purposeful details: premium-grade hooks that hold fish reliably, 3D eyes that trigger aggressive strikes, and internal free-floating rattles that create a natural forage signature without overwhelming the water. The action on the fall is just as important as the horizontal retrieve—that unpredictable wobble as the lure drops is often when bass commit hardest. The half-ounce weight is ideal for shallow to mid-depth applications, giving you versatility without sacrificing castability.
The Citrus Shad color is a proven pattern that mimics the natural forage found in most bass waters. If you're tired of lipless crankbaits that look and act identical to the dozen others in your box, the Red Eye Shad delivers the performance and presence that separate good days from memorable ones.

The 1/2oz Red Eye Shad excels on shallow flats, grass beds, and rocky banks. Its light weight keeps it in the strike zone longer on the fall and makes it ideal for water from 2 to 12 feet deep, depending on your retrieve speed and casting distance.
Citrus Shad is a natural forage pattern that works well year-round. It's particularly effective in clear to slightly stained water where bass can see natural baitfish colors, and it remains reliable in most conditions.
Yes. The free-floating internal rattles and lure design create an unpredictable, lifelike wobble as the bait drops—often triggering strikes when the lure isn't being actively retrieved.
