Description

This 2" bait is a Crappie killer. Its small size and tail action really gets the fish to bite. Fish it on a small jig head and swim it by timber, brush or other structure and hang on. Adjust the size of jig head to determine rate of fall through the water column. The lighter the head the slower the fall. Any variation of this bait should be in any fisherman's tackle box.

Field Notes

Rig the 2" stinger shad on a small jig head, then swim it slowly along timber, brush, or other structure. Use a lighter jig head for a slower fall rate and a heavier head to speed up the descent until you find the bite rate.

Pros

  • Small profile targets crappie
  • Tail action helps trigger bites
  • Adjustable fall rate by changing jig head weight

Cons

  • Requires pairing with a jig head to fish effectively
