Bass A Curly Shad 2" 10ct Fire Cracker

The Bass Assassin Baits 2" Curly Shad in Fire Cracker is a compact soft plastic built for crappie and panfish hunters who want a proven profile in a proven color. At two inches, this shad delivers the same realistic body design crappie recognize, but with a curl tail that generates flash and movement on the drop—exactly what triggers aggressive strikes when you're fishing a jig. Whether you're working shallow brush, creek channels, or open water during spring spawns, the Fire Cracker finish cuts through stained water and gets noticed fast.

Crappie fishing rewards anglers who match the hatch and work their lures with intention. The Curly Shad's tail action works on vertical presentations, horizontal retrieves, and everything in between. The 2-inch size hits the sweet spot for crappie that want a meal without a commitment—small enough to appeal to aggressive springers, big enough to screen out short-strikers when you're after keepers.

You get 10 baits per pack, so you have enough to work through a productive morning without worrying about running dry. Stock the Fire Cracker in your tacklepack alongside other proven colors; crappie can be picky, and having multiple options rigged and ready means you spend more time catching and less time retying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size jig head should I use with the 2" Curly Shad?

Bass Assassin Baits designs the 2" Curly Shad for crappie and panfish applications, so light jig heads in the 1/16- to 1/8-ounce range are the intended match. We don't have the manufacturer's exact jig head pairing in our data, so check the package or contact Bass Assassin for their official recommendation.

Is the Fire Cracker color good for muddy water or clear water?

The Fire Cracker finish is a high-visibility color designed to stand out in stained or low-light conditions. In very clear water, crappie can sometimes spook from bright baits, so you may want to pair this with natural colors on the same trip to see what your fish prefer that day.

Will this work for other panfish besides crappie?

Yes—the 2" profile and curl tail are proven for crappie and other panfish species. The small size and finesse action appeal to sunfish, bluegill, and other panfish that respond to shad-pattern baits.

How many baits come in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 soft plastic shads, giving you enough baits for multiple outings or to rig several rod and reel combos at once.
