Bass A Tiny Shad 1.5in 15ct Gold Pepper

The Bass Assassin Tiny Shad in Gold Pepper is a 1.5-inch soft plastic bait designed for crappie and panfish anglers who want a compact profile with proven action. This 15-count pack delivers the enticing tail movement and realistic proportions that work in shallow structure, open water, and tight cover—whether you're working topwater, suspending below a bobber, or fishing a Carolina or Texas rig. The soft body texture mimics live baitfish convincingly enough to trigger strikes from crappie, bluegill, and other panfish that would otherwise ignore generic offerings.

What sets the Tiny Shad apart is its fat-belly design, which creates natural displacement and flash that draw more aggressive strikes than conventional jerk baits of similar size. The Gold Pepper color pattern imitates natural shad and crawdad forage in clear to moderately stained water, making it a reliable choice across regions and seasons. Because it's genuinely soft and forgiving, fish tend to hold on longer—reducing short strikes and improving your hook-to-land ratio on lighter crappie rigs.

This is a workhorse bait for anglers fishing brush piles, submerged timber, dock pilings, and weed edges where crappie congregate. The 1.5-inch size is compact enough for finesse presentations on light jigs but substantial enough to justify casting effort. Whether you're targeting spawning crappie in spring, suspended fish in summer, or fall gatherings along structure, a 15-count pack rounds out your soft-plastic arsenal without breaking the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish species can I catch with the Tiny Shad?

While designed for crappie, the Tiny Shad works well on bluegill, sunfish, and other panfish that respond to small soft plastics. The realistic profile and soft texture appeal to crappie of all sizes, from keeper-class spawners to suspended deep-water fish.

Can I use the Tiny Shad on a regular bass jig?

Yes. The 1.5-inch size fits standard 1/16 to 1/8-ounce jig heads commonly used for crappie and panfish. It also works on light Texas and Carolina rigs for anglers who prefer that presentation.

Is Gold Pepper a good color for my local water?

Gold Pepper is a natural shad and crawdad imitation that performs well in clear to moderately stained water. If your lake or river has notably tea-colored or murky water, you may want to consider higher-visibility colors, but Gold Pepper is a solid all-around choice for most crappie fisheries.

How many baits are in a pack?
