BERKLEY GULP 5" JERK SHAD

Berkley Gulp!® 5" Jerk Shad – Maximum Attraction, Maximum Scent, Maximum Results

The Berkley Gulp!® 5" Jerk Shad delivers exceptional lifelike realism backed by industry-leading scent dispersion, giving saltwater anglers a proven advantage on every trip. Engineered with a true threadfin shad profile, this bait features a high-backed body, tapered nose, and compressed sides that perfectly replicate the silhouette of natural forage.

Designed for an aggressive jerkbait-style presentation, the 5" Jerk Shad produces sharp darting action and quick glides that imitate a wounded baitfish trying to escape. Its soft, flexible material allows for realistic movement and superior hook-up ratios, while the detailed scaling, lateral line, and natural eye placement enhance visual appeal.

Powered by the legendary Gulp! formula, this bait disperses scent rapidly, expanding the strike zone and consistently drawing in predatory saltwater species. Available in six effective colour options, the 5" Jerk Shad is a versatile, high-performance bait that belongs in every serious angler’s tackle box.
