Shad Habits Sr

Shad Habits Sr – 5″ Performance
The Year-Round Staple for Inshore Giants.

The true workhorse of the Mangrove Magic lineup. The Shad Habits Sr is designed for the angler hunting for a “thump” that echoes. This 5-inch profile is a year-round staple for snook and tarpon, perfectly mimicking the finger mullet and large pilchards they crave. When the Florida sun heats up, the Sr. becomes a lethal invitation that trophy redfish can’t turn down.

Why It Dominates

• Year-Round Versatility: Whether it’s the spring mullet run or the summer heat, this profile matches the most common baitfish sizes in Florida waters.
• Handmade Durability: Crafted with a custom plastic density that withstands multiple strikes from toothy fish without losing its signature tail wag.
• Strategic Profile: The 5″ silhouette provides enough “meat” to attract big predators while remaining streamlined enough for long, accurate casts even into a stiff Florida breeze.

Pro Tactics

• Best Conditions: Mangrove shorelines, deep pass edges, and open grass flats. Ideal for summer redfish or hunting trophy snook deep under cover.
• The Action: Rig it on a 1/4 oz to 3/8 oz jig head to keep it in the strike zone longer. For the ultimate stealth approach, swim it weightless through heavy mangrove roots to entice a “shadow” strike.
