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
