This is a precision 3D printable master model inspired by the legendary Reins Bubbling Shad — one of the most popular soft plastic vibrotails among anglers worldwide, produced by the renowned Japanese brand Reins . This model is a replica inspired design that closely matches the distinctive fully ribbed body and oversized paddle tail known for creating powerful vibrations and releasing air bubbles during retrieval, which serves as an additional irritant for predators . 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:
Fully ribbed segmented body design where the rear segment is narrower, allowing the lure to move attractively during active rod retrieves with jerks and lifts
Large oversized paddle tail (heel) that creates powerful, saturated vibrations even at minimal retrieve speeds
The fat body version features a wider heel and more voluminous body for even stronger water displacement, ideal for trophy pike in deep reservoirs
Ribbed construction creates micro turbulence and releases air bubbles during the retrieve — a bubbling effect that serves as an additional irritant for predators and gives the series its name
Narrower tail section provides excellent action during active rod retrieves, jerking, and stop-and-go presentations
Soft edible plastic construction with integrated salt and scent attractant that increases bite retention time and reduces false hookups
Buoyant body characteristics that keep the tail raised off the bottom when rigged on mushroom style jigs
Optimized surfaces for easy demolding
Available in multiple size replicas:
2 inches (50mm) — 12 pieces per pack replica
3 inches (75mm) — 8 pieces per pack replica
4 inches (100mm) — 6 or 8 pieces per pack replica (depending on fat or standard version)
Fat Bubbling Shad versions available in 4 inch and 6 inch sizes
Important note: This is an inspired replica design based on the original Reins Bubbling Shad lure by Reins. Not an official Reins product. For personal use and small batch production only.
