This is a precision 3D printable master model inspired by the classic Manns Shad 4 — a timeless soft plastic shad that has been a trusted choice for predator anglers worldwide. The term Ripper refers to the traditional shad-style vibrating tail design that creates a tight, rhythmic swimming action. This model is a replica inspired design that closely matches the original profile known for its reliable performance on jig heads, Texas rigs, and drop shot presentations. It is intended for mold making purposes: use it to create silicone or RTV molds for small scale production of soft plastic lures.

Design Features:

Traditional shad body profile with realistic baitfish proportions at 4 inches (10cm) length

Ribbed body segments that create realistic water displacement and enhance vibration

Paddle tail with correct thickness and flex characteristics for tight rolling action

Smooth flank panels with subtle anatomical shaping for natural appearance

Narrow waist section for increased flexibility and lifelike side to side motion

Compatible with jig heads (1/0 to 3/0), Texas rig, Carolina rig, and drop shot

Available in additional size replicas: 3 inches, 5 inches, and larger sizes

Optimized surfaces for easy demolding
