Major Craft CEANA NICO SHAD

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

The CEANA NICO SHAD has been developed to replicate the slim, elongated profile of the baitfish that marine predators feed on. Its streamlined profile, tapered tail and perfectly integrated jig head 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 attract bigger fish while retaining a subtle, realistic action. Supplied pre-rigged in packs of two, it is ready to use 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 striking or are in heavily fished areas.

Increase the speed or use sharper pulls and its tail becomes more active, imitating a sand eel suddenly accelerating 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 slim body creates little resistance in the water. The NICO SHAD cuts easily through currents, quickly reaches the desired depth and remains easy to control, even in stronger conditions.

Its slender shape also helps it cast long distances, making it ideal for fishing from the shore, reaching distant surface activity or covering a large area of water.

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

A lure that can cover several layers of water

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

• On a straight retrieve: it lets you cover ground quickly. A slow, steady retrieve is ideal for searching for fish holding in one spot or feeding less actively.

• With a lift-and-drop retrieve: long pulls followed by pauses imitate the erratic escape of a baitfish. Changes of pace and the 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 are shoaled beneath the boat.

A solution for difficult fish

The NICO SHAD stands out for its balance of presence and subtlety. When predators refuse shads with large tails or lures that produce too much vibration, its slim profile and less aggressive movements offer an interesting 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 reflections and glitter to suit changing light levels and water clarity.

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

The CEANA NICO SHAD combines an ultra-realistic sand eel profile with a highly versatile action. Pre-rigged, balanced and easy to control, it lets you fish effectively at different depths, from the shore or by boat, adapting to wary fish as well as active predators.
