Innovative Firetail Technology
The Berkley Money Badger Firetail features a specially designed tail that produces a unique kicking action as the lure is retrieved. This Firetail technology creates additional movement and vibration that closely mimics a live shad trying to escape. The added action helps the lure stand out from standard crankbaits and often triggers strikes from selective or pressured bass. This makes the Money Badger Firetail especially effective when fishing around grass lines, rocky points, and submerged structure where bass are actively feeding on shad.
Classic Tennessee Shad Color Pattern
The Tennessee Shad color is one of the most popular and productive finishes in the Money Badger series. This classic pattern features a green or blue-green back, bright silver sides, and a prominent dark lateral line that closely imitates the appearance of threadfin and gizzard shad. The Tennessee Shad color excels in clear to moderately stained water and is effective year-round when bass are feeding on shad. It has a long history of success across the Southeast and Midwest on both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
