Optimum Baits has announced the upcoming release of their highly anticipated Tiny Bullshooter 'Shudder Tail', scheduled to hit the market in October 2025. Originally made available solely to members of deps web as the BULLSHOOTER Jr., this compact lure is now expanding its reach within the broader deps lineup.
"The Shudder Tail version is designed for smooth, responsive retrieves," said an Optimum Baits spokesperson. This particular model is engineered with a unique tail that responds adeptly to even the slightest water movements. As the lure glides through the water, the tail generates fine vibrations, imitating the life-like swimming motions of common prey such as bluegill, tilapia, or crappie.
On a leisurely retrieve, the Tiny Bullshooter Shudder Tail mimics a sunfish moving effortlessly in the shallow waters.
"When burned fast, it shifts into a high-speed fleeing action, which instantly triggers the predatory instincts of bass," the spokesperson added, highlighting how variations in retrieval speed can affect a fish's response to the lure.
With a design meant for ultra-realistic movement and reliable performance, the Tiny Bullshooter Shudder Tail stands out as an essential tool for fishermen looking to catch bluegill-eating bass. Anglers interested in utilizing this innovative lure will appreciate its non-rattle type, weighing in at an easy-to-handle 1 ounce and measuring 112mm in length. This model is classified as slow sinking, which enhances its versatility in various fishing conditions.
As the excitement builds for its release, many in the angling community are already referring to it as a must-have for their tackle boxes. Whether fishing in fresh or brackish waters, the Tiny Bullshooter Shudder Tail is positioning itself to offer a competitive edge to fishermen in pursuit of bass.
The anticipation surrounding the Tiny Bullshooter Shudder Tail suggests that it may quickly become a staple among serious anglers. Time will tell how well it performs on the water once it's available this coming October 2025.
