Tackle House Feed Shallow Plus 12.8cm 21g

Tackle House Feed Shallow Plus: The High-Control Surf Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Tackle House Feed Shallow Plus is the refined, “heavy-duty” evolution of the legendary Feed Shallow 128. While it retains the iconic 12.8cm profile, this “Plus” model has been specially tuned with an extra 2.5g of weight, bringing it to a total of 21g. This weight is strategically shifted toward the rear, not only to facilitate “power-bomb” casts into stiff coastal headwinds but also to allow for more aggressive, jerky animations that the standard model cannot handle as effectively.

The Feed Shallow Plus is designed for anglers who need maximum control in “big” water. It remains incredibly stable in strong tidal currents and heavy surf, providing improved lure feedback to the angler even when the line is being buffeted by wind and waves.

Product Details and Uses

The Feed Shallow Plus is a tactical upgrade for challenging shallow-water scenarios:

• Enhanced Casting Ballistics: The additional 2.5g and rearward center of gravity significantly improve the lure’s flight stability. This makes it our top choice for shore anglers who need to reach distant reefs when the wind is blowing directly onshore.

• Improved Lure Control: In turbulent water, light lures can feel “disconnected.” The extra mass of the Plus model provides more “bite” in the water, allowing you to feel exactly what the lure is doing through your rod tip, even in heavy surf.

• Aggressive Animation Profile: While the standard Feed Shallow is a master of the slow, steady crawl, the Plus model is “tuned” for a more active approach. It responds beautifully to sharp rod twitches and “jerks,” creating a more erratic, panicked action that triggers aggressive reaction strikes.

• Stable Current Performance: The Plus model is weighted to “sit” slightly deeper in the surface film than the original. This prevents the lure from being pushed out of the water by strong side-currents or high-speed tidal flows.

• The “White Water” King: Like its predecessor, the Plus model thrives in the foam. However, the added weight ensures it stays in the “zone” longer when being tossed around by breaking waves.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: Use the Feed Shallow Plus when the conditions turn “nasty.” When you have a crosswind creating a bow in your line, the extra 2.5g of the Plus model helps maintain tension and “grip” the water. Try a retrieve that combines two sharp jerks with a slow, steady wind—the weight shift will make the lure kick out wide before settling back into its rhythmic roll
