Strike King Red Eyed Shad 1/2 oz Lipless Crankbait – Pineapple Smash – Mark Menendez Special – Bass Fishing Lure – NEW

🍍 Bright, Loud & Built to Get Bit!

When bass are feeding aggressively or water clarity calls for a high-visibility bait, the Strike King Red Eyed Shad in Pineapple Smash delivers. This Mark Menendez Special combines Strike King's legendary shimmy-on-the-fall with a bold chartreuse finish that excels in stained water, windy conditions, and low-light situations.

The proven lipless design produces hard vibration, loud rattles, and an irresistible flutter on the fall that has made the Red Eyed Shad one of the most trusted reaction baits in bass fishing.

🐟 How to Fish It

Cast long over grass flats, points, creek channels, and rocky banks. Retrieve with a steady medium speed or burn it over submerged vegetation.

When it contacts grass, rip it loose with a sharp snap of the rod. That sudden burst is often when the biggest bass commit.

The yo-yo retrieve is another deadly presentation. Lift the bait, then let it flutter back down on semi-slack line. Many strikes happen during the fall.

Whether you're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, or spotted bass, this lure consistently produces reaction bites.

How to Fish It

🐟 Pineapple Smash is built for dirty water, windy days, and aggressive fish. The bright chartreuse body helps bass locate the bait when visibility is low, making it an excellent choice after rain, in stained reservoirs, or whenever baitfish are hard to see.

🐟 Make long casts and retrieve at a medium to fast pace over grass flats, submerged vegetation, riprap, and shallow points. The Red Eyed Shad produces a tight, hard vibration that bass can feel long before they see it.

🐟 Rip it free from grass. If the lure starts hanging in vegetation, give the rod a quick snap. That sudden burst of speed often triggers violent reaction strikes from bass that were following the bait.

🐟 Use a yo-yo retrieve around ledges, creek channels, and deeper points. Lift the rod tip several feet, then let the bait flutter back toward the bottom on semi-slack line. The Red Eyed Shad's signature shimmy on the fall is one of its biggest fish-catching features.

🐟 Excellent during spring and fall, but don't overlook it in summer around schooling fish or in winter when slow yo-yo presentations can trigger lethargic bass.

🐟 Pro Tip from The Outdoor Shack™: If the water has a green tint or only a foot or two of visibility, Pineapple Smash can outproduce more natural colors because bass locate it quickly and react before they have time to inspect it.
