The Flash J Shad is a pintail-style jig with aluminum foil inserted into the body like a spine. The main feature is the unique swimming action of the shad tail. The body and tail have been made thinner and the tail itself has been designed to be smaller to produce a bait-like swimming action. It also attracts fish with its excellent stability even with no sinker. It also works well with a wheel head or screw-in hook.
