Clam Outdoors Psycho Shad
The Clam Psycho Shad is back—and better than ever. Designed to trigger reaction strikes from a wide range of species, this hard-body shad-style lure delivers a one-of-a-kind combination of vibration, sound, and erratic action that fish simply can’t ignore.
On the upward jig, the Psycho Shad rattles and shakes aggressively, calling fish in from a distance. When you pause and let it free-fall on slack line, the lure transitions into a subtle, dying-minnow wobble, perfectly imitating injured forage. This deadly action change is what separates the Psycho Shad from traditional jigging baits.
Built with a durable PVC body and loaded with stainless steel BBs, the Psycho Shad produces loud, attention-grabbing sound while maintaining a compact profile.

Used the Psycho Shad during a morning bass run and got multiple strikes. The rattle on the jig made fish come in from far away. When I let it fall, the wobble worked perfectly for catching panfish. Solid action and reliable performance.

Felt like the lure had a lot of life. The sound draws fish in, and the transition from jig to wobble is smooth. A bit heavy for small streams, but great in open lakes.

This is the first lure that actually made fish react to a slow free-fall. I’ve tried many minnow imitations, but this one stands out. Works well in both clear and murky water.

Good for targeting species that don’t bite on standard jigs. The sound is loud and noticeable, especially in quiet waters. A bit pricey, but worth it for the action.
