SEBILE Flatt Shad XH ~ Extra Heavy Sinking Lipless Crankbait

Whether it's the Sinking, Suspending or Snagless model, there's nothing ordinary about any member of the Flatt Shad family. Yet it is the Extra Heavy version that's truly extraordinary.

Of course you may fish the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy practically any way that you'd use a standard sinking Flatt Shad, so it will work the same way but deeper. When it is necessary to cast an extra long distance or it is difficult to cast against the wind, those are conditions that call for the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy too.

What's especially unique about the XH is it's one of the only hard plastic lures that is effective when casting to fish on or close to bottom in very deep water. The best tactic is often to cast out and wait for the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy to hit bottom. Then flick or jig it a few inches off the bottom. The Flatt Shad will continually pendulum closer toward you as it sinks. Let it make a series of contacts with the bottom, lifting it a few inches off the bottom each time. Very small flicks or draws of the rod tip - only a couple of inches - are all that's needed to attract fish this way. Even though you may be moving it very little, very slowly, the Flatt Shad will have fish-attracting action. The design concept includes a belly that is wider than the back. This causes big water turbulence on the sides and belly. That turbulence creates instability, which creates action. So you can go slow, moving it only a few inches and still have action. As soon as you lift one, it will instantly start wobbling as long as there is even slight line pull to activate it. The Flatt Shad's pronounced vibration at any speed from ultra slow to ultra fast is its unique advantage.

Another Flatt Shad Extra Heavy situation is to "walk" the lure down any sloping bottom whether it's a steep bluff, the tip or sides of a point, a submerged hump, gradually-deepening creek channel or any sloping shoreline or bottom. The shallowest part you want to fish is where the lure should land, and you can let the lure sink further or count it down at the very beginning of the cast until it gets to the depth you want to target. Then simply hold the rod tip up around ten o'clock and follow the lure's sinkage down with the rod tip, so the lure has a semi-loose line to develop falling action. When the rod tip gets close to the water, lift gently again to 10 o'clock and follow the lure's descent back down until the rod tip nears the water again. Basically perform this lift-and-fall tactic for the entire retrieve, thereby following the contour of the sloping bottom back to you. When you lift it, it moves relatively quicker with more vibration and then it slows down, stops and starts to sink like it can't continue any longer. Many hits will come on the falling portion as you follow the lure down with the rod tip.

Those are just a couple of the special tactics and advantages of using the extraordinary Sebile Flatt Shad Extra Heavy.
