Meet the HEADBANGER Cranky Shad—the lure that turns every cast into a predator magnet. By blending an erratic, side-to-side Headbanger action with a deep, low-frequency vibration, it moves serious water and triggers strikes from perch, pike, trout…and anything else with a taste for trouble.

    • Explosive Headbanger action – erratic side-to-side swing that screams “easy meal.”

    • Powerful vibration – low-frequency pulses carry far, making predators lock on.

    • Built-in rattle balls – adds audible attraction when visuals alone aren’t enough.

    • Realistic 3D eyes – natural focal point that hungry fish zero in on.

    • Holographic foil & transparent paint – multi-layer depth and lifelike shimmer under any light.

    • Shallow spin & pelagic ready – chase fish on flats or out in open water.

    • Versatile – straight retrieve is deadly, add pauses and twitches to improve its play or extra weight to reach the desired depth when trolling.

    • Eco-Friendly, lead-free design – fish hard without compromising the environment.

    • Patented technical build – unique construction you won’t find anywhere else.

Whether you’re stalking the shallows for early-season pike or hunting trout in current seams, the HEADBANGER Cranky Shad’s unmatched blend of motion, noise, and realism turns cautious predators into committed biters. Rig up, cast out, and watch your strike rate spike—this is the lure you’ve been missing.
