The Headbanger BangerShad 10-1/2" is the largest BangerShad — a bait full of life with a waggling action, heavy belly flash, and a paddle tail that kicks even at extremely slow retrieves. Built to trigger the biggest pike and musky in the system.

Why anglers fish the BangerShad 10-1/2"

  • Trophy-size profile — maximum water displacement and presence
  • Waggling action + belly flash — at any retrieve speed
  • Kicks at a crawl and works on the drop — stays alive through pauses and falls
  • Durable, phthalate-free plastic — survives brutal predator strikes
  • Detailed scale exterior — lifelike at close inspection distance

When and how to fish it

The proven combo is the RockerHead Dive Stinger XL: it drives an unreal, non-repetitive action and adds a stinger hook for short-striking giants. Slow retrieves with long pauses are the trophy play — over deep weed edges, rock bars, and open-water bait schools.

THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT

For a long time, Swedish artist and passionate angler, Dan Lestander, was looking for a long-casting lure that also moved with a pattern that didn’t repeat itself like traditional lures did. After he realized that no such lure existed and the desire for it grew too strong, the only solution was to start experimenting on his own.


He started thinking about how he could create a lure that interacts with its element, water, in a way that would imitate a real wounded and stressed prey much more accurately than what had previously been achieved. He spent more than four years putting in a ton of effort into finding the key to making the lure behave in the way he had envisioned. Using his skills as a professional sculptor, he constructed over 50 different prototypes, handcrafted and handpainted, to test his theories.

The result of his discoveries was a revolutionary construction that made the lures behave in a way that he never could have dreamt about. Soon he found himself with a number of ideas of different lures that could be created with this, now patented, technical construction. These lures are what we are now creating and sharing with you.
