Reins Fat Rockvibe Shad 4 inch is a thicker and more powerful version of the legendary Rockvibe Shad. Designed in Japan, this soft lure combines a compact body profile with an active paddle tail, making it a reliable choice for anglers targeting zander, pike and larger perch.
The paddle tail starts working immediately after contact with water. Even during slow retrieves or controlled drops, the lure generates strong vibrations and visible body roll. The thicker body increases water displacement, helping predatory fish locate the lure more easily.
The 4 inch (approx. 10 cm) size is highly versatile. It is perfect for jigging for zander in lakes and reservoirs, but also works well for selective pike fishing. In rivers, the stable body keeps the lure balanced even in moderate current.
Best results are achieved with classic jig head presentation. It can also be rigged on offset hooks for weedless fishing, on a cheburashka system or used for vertical fishing from a boat. The soft yet durable material reacts to even subtle rod movements.
Is the 4 inch size good for zander?
Yes, it is one of the most universal sizes for jigging in European waters.
What makes the Fat version different?
The thicker body produces stronger vibration and offers more selective presentation.
What jig head weight should be used?
Depending on depth and current, typically between 7 g and 20 g.
