Tackle House Contact Feed Shallow

The Tackle House Contact Feed Shallow is a 'must have' lure, which has gained cult status with many bass anglers due to its consistent ability to put fish on the beach. One of the most effective lures ever created, this Japanese shallow-runner is the gold standard for bass lures. Speak to any experienced angler, visit any website, forum or magazine and this lure stands above nearly all others for European bass fishing.

One of the best things about the Tackle House Contact Feed Shallow is just how easy it is to fish. Casting is a breeze and to get it working properly, just reel it slowly to impart the Feed Shallow's awesome rolling action, add it a few jerks and pauses and you couldn't give yourself a better chance of taking a bass in shallow water.

It is a high quality Japanese shallow diver which works at between 5cm and 30cm below the surface. The main action is a natural head-roll, which is different from the rolling action performed by most conventional shallow minnows. It is very effective when allowed to just work itself with either a slow steady retrieve, or if you want to be more creative you can make it zig zag by using your rod in a walk the dog style.

The brighter colours can be very effective in coloured shallow water and the Feed Shallow can catch in conditions which at first appear less than conducive to lure fishing. At these times a slow retrieve will often produce the goods as the combination of the Feed Shallow's natural action and striking finish allow the fish to home in on it in even near zero visibility.
