Tracer Shad 3″ — Hydro

Electric Blue • Ice Flash • Ultra‑Soft Tail Action

The Hydro Tracer Shad (3″) brings the electric, high‑visibility power of the Hydro colorway into a compact finesse profile built for pressured fish, tight current seams, and cold‑water bites. With its electric‑blue back, ice‑silver body, and subtle internal flash, this downsized shad mimics high‑energy baitfish darting through rivers and open water — the perfect blend of bright and natural.

Hand‑poured in small batches, the 3″ Hydro features an ultra‑soft tail that flicks, quivers, and pulses with the slightest movement. Even in slow current or neutral conditions, this little shad comes alive, making it a deadly option when fish want something bright but not overwhelming.
