Bass A Tiny Shad 1.5in 15ct Violet Moon
The Bass Assassin Tiny Shad 1.5-inch soft plastic is a compact panfish bait built for crappie, bluegill, and other sunfish hunters who want a lifelike profile in a small package. At just 1.5 inches, these baits punch above their weight—the distinctive fat-belly design creates a natural silhouette that triggers strikes where standard crappie plastics fall flat. The soft body texture mimics real shad and holds fish longer, so you spend less time resetting and more time catching.
Violet Moon is a proven color pattern for low-light conditions and stained water, making it especially effective during dawn, dusk, or overcast days when crappie bite hardest. Each 15-count pack gives you enough baits to cover a full day on the water without constantly switching colors or profiles.
These baits work across multiple rigging styles—fish them weightless on top water for a subtle presentation, Texas rig them for cover work, Carolina rig for deeper suspending presentations, or jig them under a bobber. The tail action remains consistent across all setups, whether you're working shallow brush, ledges, or open water. They're equally at home in spring spawning scenarios, summer patterns, or fall transitions, making them a year-round staple for panfish anglers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to rig Bass Assassin Tiny Shads for crappie?
These baits excel under multiple rigs. For shallow brush and cover, Texas rig or jig them on a light head. For open water or suspending fish, rig them on a Carolina setup or beneath a bobber. You can also fish them weightless on top water for a subtle, slow-fall presentation in calm conditions.
Will Violet Moon work in clear water, or is it better for stained conditions?
Violet Moon is optimized for low-light and stained-water situations—dawn, dusk, overcast days, and murky water where natural forage colors may not stand out as well. For crystal-clear water, consider complementing your color selection with natural shad patterns.
Are these baits suitable for fish other than crappie?
Yes. The 1.5-inch size and soft profile work well for bluegill, other panfish, and smaller freshwater species. Many anglers also use them in saltwater applications for schooling fish and light tackle scenarios.
How many baits do I get per pack?
Each pack contains 15 Bass Assassin Tiny Shads, giving you plenty of baits for a full day of fishing or multiple outings.
