Storm WildEye Swim Shad - Size 6
The Storm WildEye Swim Shad Size 6 is a 5.7-inch, 7/8 oz swimbait built to target bigger inshore and nearshore fish. Hand-poured with an internal lead head and durable reflective body, these baits swim with a realistic action that triggers strikes from cobia, big redfish, flounder, and snook. Bio-salt impregnated tails give fish a reason to hold on. Three per pack at $8.06.
- 5.7 inch length targets bigger predators
- 7/8 oz internal lead head for long casts and fast sink
- Hand-poured soft body with reflective finish
- Bio-salt impregnated tails for added fish attraction
- VMC needle sharp hooks for solid hookups
Big Bait for Big Inshore Fish
When bull reds are crashing mullet, cobia are cruising the surface, or big snook are ambushing prey at bridge pilings, a 4-inch bait gets ignored. The WildEye Swim Shad Size 6 puts a 5.7-inch profile in the water with the weight to cast far and the action to look real. The hand-poured body and reflective finish replicate the flash of a fleeing baitfish.
The 7/8 oz internal lead head means you do not need a separate jig head. Cast, let it sink to your target depth, and retrieve with a steady swim. Bio-salt impregnated into the tail gives fish a scent and flavor trigger that makes them hold on longer, giving you time to set the hook.

Hand-Poured Construction
Each body is hand-poured for consistent density and action. The internal lead head provides balanced weight distribution for a true swimming motion. The reflective body material catches light and flashes like a real baitfish.
Bio-Salt Impregnated Tails
The soft plastic tails contain bio-salt that gives the bait a natural scent and taste. Fish that bite hold on longer instead of immediately spitting the bait, giving you an extra second to react and set the hook.
VMC Needle Sharp Hooks
The VMC hooks are sharp out of the package and built to handle hard-fighting fish. The hook position is optimized for the bait's swimming action, resulting in solid hookups on both the initial strike and the strip-set.
How to Fish the Storm WildEye Swim Shad Size 6
1. Tie directly to your leader - no jig head needed
2. Cast toward structure, bait schools, or along drop-offs
3. Let the bait sink to the strike zone - count down for consistency
4. Retrieve with a steady medium swim
5. Add occasional rod tip twitches to make the bait dart and flash
6. Set the hook firmly when you feel weight - the bio-salt tails make fish hold on

How does this compare to the Storm 360GT Searchbait? +
The Swim Shad is bigger (5.7 in vs 4 in) and heavier (7/8 oz vs 1/4 oz) for targeting larger fish in deeper water. The 360GT is better for lighter inshore work. Use both to cover different situations.
What is bio-salt? +
Bio-salt is a scent and flavor compound impregnated into the soft plastic tail. It gives the bait a natural taste that makes fish hold on longer after biting. Check out Storm WildEye Live Shrimp for another scent-enhanced option.
