Bass A Curly Shad 2in 10ct Rainbow Trout

The Bass Assassin Baits Curly Shad 2-inch soft plastic is a compact, versatile lure built for panfish hunters targeting crappie, bluegill, and other shallow-water species. At 2 inches, this shad offers a slightly larger profile than its 1.5-inch counterpart while keeping the same proven body design that's made Bass Assassin a go-to choice for decades. The distinctive curl tail generates natural action on the drop and during retrieval, triggering aggressive strikes from fish holding around structure, brush, and docks.

Whether you're jigging channels on a creek or working shallow cover in a reservoir, the Curly Shad's realistic baitfish profile and subtle tail motion work in cold water and warm, in muddy conditions and clear. The rainbow trout colorway mimics natural forage and catches fish when visibility matters. Ten count per pack gives you enough baits to fish a full day without worrying about running short—or to stock multiple jigs and keep them rigged and ready to rotate through presentations.

Rig these on light jig heads (1/32 to 1/16 oz) for maximum sensitivity and natural fall rate, or pair them with split-shot rigs for even lighter presentations. They're durable enough for multiple fish and rough handling, yet soft enough that crappie will hold on long enough for you to set the hook. A pack of Curly Shads belongs in any panfish angler's tackle box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size jig head works best with the 2-inch Curly Shad?

Light jig heads in the 1/32 to 1/16 ounce range work well, allowing the bait to fall naturally and maintain realistic action. Heavier heads can be used in deeper water or strong current, but lighter presentations typically produce more bites on crappie and panfish.

Is the Curly Shad suitable for both freshwater crappie and other panfish?

Yes. The 2-inch size and curl tail design make it an ideal choice for crappie, bluegill, sunfish, and other shallow-water panfish species.

How many baits come in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 soft plastic Curly Shads, giving you multiple baits to rig different jigs or replace worn baits throughout the day.
