Megabass Kiss Spark Shad 7 – 17.5cm 19g

Megabass Kiss Spark Shad 7″ – 17.5cm: The Specimen Pike Powerhouse

The Megabass Spark Shad 7″ is a heavy-duty swimbait specifically engineered for one purpose: tracking and triggering specimen-sized pike. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recognize this 17.5cm version as a “big game” soft plastic that offers the perfect balance of massive visual presence and refined Japanese action.

Constructed from a specialized material that is both flexible and incredibly solid, the Spark Shad 7 handles the violent strikes of large predators while maintaining its swimming integrity. It is uniquely tuned to “come into action” on ultra-low speed recoveries—essential for tempting lethargic winter pike—yet it remains perfectly stable during “frank” accelerations and high-speed power fishing.

Big-Fish Engineering & Design

• Optimized Tail Vibration: The oversized paddle tail creates a deep, low-frequency thumping vibration that can be felt by a pike’s lateral line from a significant distance, even in murky water.

• Dual-Speed Performance: Whether you are “crawling” it over deep weed beds or ripping it back to trigger a reaction strike, the body remains balanced and won’t roll or spin out.

• Versatile Rigging Slots: Like its smaller counterparts, the 7-inch model features a ventral slot for large Texas (weedless) hooks and dorsal notches for “skin-hooking.” This allows you to fish this massive profile through the heaviest snags and lily pads.

• Anatomical Presence: At 17.5cm and 19g, it provides a substantial silhouette that mimics a large roach, rudd, or trout—the high-calorie meals that trophy pike actively seek out.

Where to Use the Spark Shad 7″

The 17.5cm profile is a specialized tool for the trophy hunter. The Gerry’s team recommends:

• Shallow Weed Bed Prospecting: Rigged on a large, weighted weedless hook, the Spark Shad 7 is a “search-and-destroy” tool for big pike hiding in the greenery. You can work it through cover that would snag traditional treble-hooked lures.

• Linear Reservoir Fishing: A simple “cast and wind” approach over deep water or along drop-offs. The steady thumping action of the tail makes it a highly effective lure for covering large areas of water.

• Vertical “Big Bait” Tactics: For zander specialists on large European rivers, the Spark Shad 7 provides a massive profile for vertical jigging, often selecting only the largest fish in the school.

• “Skin-Hooked” Stealth: Use the dorsal notches to hide the hook point, allowing you to bounce the lure off sunken timber and branches where big predators often wait in ambush.

Gerry’s Verdict:

The Megabass Spark Shad 7″ has rapidly acquired a legendary reputation among pike enthusiasts for a reason—it catches big fish. Its ability to maintain its action at various speeds makes it one of the easiest “big baits” to handle, regardless of your experience level. With 2 lures per pack, it is a premium weapon for those dedicated to the hunt for a personal best
