Benny the Bleak

Benny the Bleak – 9.5cm / 10g

More body, more vibrations, more attention underwater. The Benny the Bleak is a shad with a wide profile and ribbed body, designed to give just that extra signal.

Unlike slimmer shads, Benny displaces more water, making him extra effective for active predatory fish or in murky water. The paddle tail provides a powerful, stable action.

At 9.5 cm and 10 grams, it's right in the sweet spot for a wide range of predatory fish.

Why choose Benny the Bleak:

Wide profile for extra visibility

Ribbed body for extra vibrations

Powerful action thanks to paddle tail

Ideal for murky water or active fish

How to fish it:

Jighead: perfect for actively searching water

Drop shot: surprisingly effective for a more controlled presentation

Extra plus point: Available in various colours and glitters—adaptable to any situation.

My tip: Use Benny when you want to stand out a little more than with a slim shad. Ideal when fish are reacting but not fully committing.

Four pieces per pack.
