How do you create a fishing lure MORE realistic than anything before it?! I don’t know, but we did.

The main focus of Fish 30acre’s lure line-up has always been realism. This started by using molds of real fish and has since progressed into using advancements in 3D scanning, modeling, and printing. All of that has accumulated into what we have here… the Mondo Shad. The Mondo Shad takes realism to a whole new level.

Over the years, we’ve learned what works best in regard to production and manufacturing of hard resin fishing lures. We utilize 3 different types of resin material to create the overall look and action of the Mondo Shad. This includes a hard resin body with encapsulated stainless-steel hardware and ballasting, semi-rigid and transparent fins, and a rebounding urethane tail. Adding all of this together creates the most realistic fishing lure we have ever produced, and dare we say it – the most realistic fishing lure ever created??? Maybe.

What you have is a properly proportioned 11″ Gizzard Shad. Just like how you find it in the wild… Not some thick 2×4 piece of wood carved to look like a fish. This is the real deal. It was designed to fool smart, wary, trophy fish. The Mondo weighs in at 7.5 ounces, so you will need proper, heavy-duty equipment to showcase its skills. It was designed to have a super slow sink to slow floating sink rate, depending on your water temperature. And comes with slightly smaller, light gauge BKK hooks on purpose. This will allow you to easily adjust its sink rate to your desire by adding different hooks or split rings. Or leave it as-is and fish it effortlessly as it slowly swims back and forth like a real fish. The action of the Mondo was made to replicate a large Gizzard Shad. So, what you have is a slow, meandering back and forth glide that can be easily seen using advanced Forward Facing Sonar.

The Mondo was made for those of you fishing for giants. Stretch out and hold on!
