Bass A Curly Shad 2in 10ct Black Shad

The Bass Assassin Baits Curly Shad 2-inch is a soft-plastic crappie bait built for anglers who want a straightforward, productive lure that actually catches fish. At 2 inches, it bridges the gap between undersized panfish offerings and larger profiles—small enough to match natural forage crappie feed on, substantial enough to draw attention on the structure where they hide. The curl tail design creates subtle, lifelike action in the water, triggering strikes from both white and black crappie across seasons and conditions.

This is a true jig-body bait. Rig it on a light jig head and you've got a compact, easy-to-cast presentation that lets you work shallow brush, fallen timber, and dock pilings—the classic crappie zones where you often can't use larger gear. The black shad color is a reliable, natural pattern that performs year-round, whether you're fishing stained water, clear lakes, or anywhere in between.

Each pack contains 10 baits, giving you enough to work a productive area thoroughly without rationing. If you fish crappie regularly—whether from a boat, dock, or shore—having a few packs of proven soft plastics in your tackle box is practical insurance. No mystery or hype here: just an effective little bait with a track record.
