A vibrant Fire Tiger pattern, blending a deep emerald green back into golden-yellow sides with crisp black vertical barring, covers this 2" (5cm) shad profile. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the Matzuo Asai Shad (Product Code 9243) is built as a floating, rattling plug intended for casting. The clear, rounded diving lip is engineered to reach depths between 0 and 4 ft (0 - 1.2 m), making it a versatile choice for shallow structures. This specimen's hardware remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5, showing no signs of wear on the metallic-scaled finish or the sharp treble hooks. Large, realistic 3D eyes provide a distinct focal point on the head, while the internal rattle chamber adds an audible dimension to its presence in the water.
