Major Craft CEANA NICO SHAD

The subtlety of a finesse lure, the realism of a sand eel

The CEANA NICO SHAD was developed to replicate the slender, elongated profile of the baitfish preyed upon by marine predators. Its streamlined profile, tapered tail and perfectly integrated jig head combine to create a natural, balanced lure that is ready to fish straight away.

At 17 cm and 21 g, it offers a substantial enough mouthful to interest quality fish while retaining a restrained, realistic action. Supplied ready-rigged in a pack of two, it can be used straight away without having to find the ideal combination of body, jig head and hook.

A natural action that adapts to your retrieve

At low speed, the NICO SHAD produces gentle undulations and subtle movements. This understated action is particularly effective when fish are wary, follow lures without taking them, or inhabit areas subject to heavy fishing pressure.

Increase the speed or use sharper pulls and its tail becomes more mobile, imitating a sand eel that suddenly accelerates to escape a predator. This versatility makes it easy to adapt the presentation to the fish’s activity.

A profile designed to cut through the water

Its slender body offers little resistance in the water. The NICO SHAD cuts easily through currents, quickly reaches the desired depth and remains easy to control, even when conditions become more challenging.

Its slim profile also helps achieve long casts, an advantage when fishing from the shore, reaching distant surface-feeding fish or covering a large area of water.

The jig head naturally follows the line of the body to create a seamless, compact and realistic profile.

A lure capable of fishing several depths

The CEANA NICO SHAD can be fished in different ways depending on the position and activity of the fish.

• On a steady retrieve: it allows you to cover ground quickly. A slow, steady retrieve is ideal for searching for fish holding in one spot or feeding little.

• With a lift-and-drop retrieve: long pulls followed by slack imitate the erratic escape of a baitfish. Changes of pace and sinking phases encourage takes.

• Close to the bottom: short pulls can imitate a sand eel trying to bury itself in the sand, a particularly effective presentation for bass and pollack.

• Semi-vertically or vertically: it allows you to explore deep areas, drop-offs, wrecks and spots where fish shoal beneath the boat.

A solution for difficult fish

The NICO SHAD stands out for its balance of presence and subtlety. When predators refuse large-paddletail shads or lures that produce too much vibration, its slim profile and less aggressive action offer an effective alternative.

Conversely, accelerations, jerks or longer pulls can trigger a reaction from active predators.

Six colours to suit the conditions

The range includes six complementary colours: Pearl White, Wakasagi, Latterino, Spark Olive, Live Ghost Iwashi and Sand-Eel.

They combine transparency, pearlescence, contrast, natural flashes and glitter to suit changing light levels and water clarity.

Natural shades are particularly suited to clear water and fish targeting sand eels or small silvery prey. More opaque, pearlescent or glittering colours make the lure more visible when light levels fall or the water becomes cloudy.

The CEANA NICO SHAD combines an ultra-realistic sand eel profile with great versatility of action. Ready-rigged, balanced and easy to control, it allows you to fish different depths effectively, from the shore or a boat, adapting to wary fish as well as active predators.
