EVER GREEN BASS ENEMY 4.5" #88 MELTY SHAD

Evergreen Bassenemy 4.5" – Melty Shad

The Evergreen Bassenemy 4.5" Melty Shad is an advanced high-density stickbait engineered to deliver a completely unique underwater presentation. Combining a natural horizontal and vertical fall with a subtle body tremble and an ultra-thin fluttering tail, this lure produces an unmatched, finesse-driven action that consistently triggers strikes from both active and pressured bass.

Designed to retain the proven effectiveness of traditional high-density stickbaits, the Bassenemy introduces an added dimension of attraction through its delicately moving tail, creating a balanced presentation that is neither too aggressive nor too subtle. This makes it highly effective across a wide range of fishing conditions—from muddy water to ultra-clear, high-pressure environments.
