Product Details and Uses

Sawamura One Up Shad 6″ – 12.4cm 18g

The “Engage & Hold” Soft Bait: A European Phenomenon

The Sawamura One Up Shad isn’t just a soft plastic; it is an institution in the world of predator fishing. Widely regarded as the most effective paddle-tail lure in Europe, the One Up Shad possesses a unique ability to fool fish into thinking it is natural, living bait. Once a predator strikes, they don’t just “hit” it—they engage and hold on.

The secret lies in two specific design features. First is the thinned “waist” or joint in the middle of the body, which gives the lure a fantastic, fluid swimming action that works even at the slowest retrieval speeds. Second is the legendary “Trump” attractant—a powerful, built-in scent that drives predators into a feeding frenzy and masks any “human” smell.

Why the 6″ (12.4cm) Version is a Winner:

Perfect Proportions: At 18g, it provides a “good bite” for specimen fish without being too heavy for a standard Medium (M) or Medium-Heavy (MH) lure rod.
Low-Inertia Swimming: It is one of the few lures of this size that will “kick” perfectly with no additional lead or on very light jig heads—perfect for a natural, slow-fall presentation.
Versatile Rigging: Whether you want to fish it “Texan Style” (weedless) through heavy kelp or on a standard ball jig head for vertical fishing, the One Up Shad remains perfectly balanced.

Where to Use the One Up Shad 6″ in the UK

The Solent & South Coast Reefs: When the Sea Bass are focused on pouting or large sandeels, a 6″ One Up Shad rigged on a 15g–20g jig head is lethal. Fish it “bump-and-jump” style along the bottom or mid-water for consistent results.
Fenland Drains & Midlands Reservoirs: For the freshwater specialist, this is a premier Zander and Pike lure. The “Trump” scent is particularly effective in the murky waters of the Fens, helping fish track the lure through scent as well as vibration.
The Scottish West Coast & Cornish Rocks: If you are targeting Big Pollack from the shore or boat, fish the One Up Shad on a long fluorocarbon leader. The subtle tail-kick on the “drop” is often when the biggest fish will hit.
Morecambe Bay & The North West: Ideal for fishing the deeper “scars” and gullies. Rigged weedless, you can cast this right into the heart of the bladderwrack and kelp where big Bass wait in ambush, without the fear of snagging up.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict:

We’ve seen a lot of soft plastics come and go, but the Sawamura One Up Shad remains a permanent fixture in our tackle boxes. Its combination of a soft, supple texture and that unmistakable “Trump” scent makes it one of the most productive lures we sell. If you’re hunting for a “PB” (Personal Best), this is the lure to do it on.
