Designed to pair perfectly with Micro Shad HeadZ jigheads. Natural minnow profile designed with crappie in mind, but also perfect for panfish, trout, bass, perch, and more Ball tail shimmies on the fall, creates a subtle swimming action on slow retrieves, and undulates enticingly when jigged vertically Hydrodynamic, pyramidal tail cross section cuts through water easily, resulting in crisp, responsive tail action on even slight rod movements Ribbed belly increases water displacement and traps air bubbles for added attraction Designed to pair perfectly with new Micro Shad HeadZ™ jigheads Offered in ten most popular colors for crappie and multispecies applications

Field Notes

Use this as a small minnow-style soft bait for crappie and other panfish, especially when fish are keyed on baby shad forage. It works on slow retrieves, subtle swimming presentations, or vertically jigged around schools and cover.

Pros

  • Natural baby shad profile for panfish forage
  • Subtle tail action on slow retrieves and on the fall
  • 10X Tough ElaZtech construction for durability and buoyancy

Cons

  • Best paired with a jighead, so it is not a standalone lure
  • Small profile may be less visible in stained water
