Tackle House Feed SF 128 – 12.8cm 18.5g

Tackle House Feed Shallow 128: The “White Water” Surface Master

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Tackle House Feed Shallow 128 is a legendary choice for anglers who need to work the very top of the water column in challenging conditions. This 12.8cm, 18.5g shallow runner is specifically designed for exploring vast, shallow areas where a deeper-diving lure would snag on rocks or weed. Its iconic short lip and slender body allow it to swim at a maximum depth of 30cm (approx. 1 foot), making it a “must-have” for fishing over submerged reefs and shallow sandbars.

The Feed Shallow 128 is a master of “holding the current,” remaining stable even in heavy surf and brewing foam. Because of its distinctive natural wobbling action and ability to be worked at extremely slow speeds, it is one of our top recommendations for night fishing for Bass, where a subtle but consistent vibration is key to triggering a strike.

Product Details and Uses

The Feed Shallow 128 is a tactical precision tool for shallow-water environments:

• Surface Column Specialist: Designed to swim just beneath the film, this lure is perfect for “skinny” water. If you keep your rod tip high, you can even make it “wake” the surface, creating a V-trail that is irresistible to patrolling Bass.

• The “Foam” Machine: This lure thrives in “white water.” When the sea is brewing a lot of foam and bubbles against the rocks, the Feed Shallow remains stable, maintaining its enticing action where other lures would be tossed around uncontrollably.

• Night Fishing Legend: Bass often move into very shallow water under the cover of darkness. The Feed Shallow 128 can be retrieved “dead slow,” allowing its internal weight system and body shape to create a slow, rhythmic roll that fish can easily track using their lateral line.

• Stable Current Performance: Whether you are fishing a fast tidal race or a river mouth, the Feed Shallow 128 “holds” the water beautifully. It won’t “blow out” or spin, even when retrieved against a strong flow.

• Multi-Hook Configuration: Equipped with three premium treble hooks, the 128mm body ensures an exceptional hook-up ratio. This is particularly important when Bass are “slapping” at the lure in the surf rather than engulfing it cleanly.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When fishing from the rocks in heavy surf, try the “Swing” technique. Cast the Feed Shallow 128 across the current and let the flow of the water move the lure while you keep a tight line. The lure will “hunt” across the surface in the foam—this is exactly where big Bass wait to ambush confused baitfish
