Description

Legendary among tournament and recreational crappie anglers, the Bobby Garland Original Baby Shad is also incredibly productive when targeting bass, bluegill, walleye, and other predators that are keyed in on smaller baitfish forage. The Original Baby Shad starts with a bulbous, dense body that quickly tapers to a thin, spear-shaped tail. This meticulously designed combination delivers the irresistible quivering action that has fooled countless slab crappies and other species into taking a ride straight to an angler’s livewell. Equally deadly on your favorite dropshot rig and ultra-finesse jighead, the Bobby Garland Original Baby Shad comes available in a range of hatch-matching colors to suit nearly any body of water.LengthQuantity2"18

Cons

  • Small size may not appeal to larger predators in all situations
