Big Bite Panfish Minnow 1.5" 10ct Tennessee Shad

The Big Bite Panfish Minnow 1.5" in Tennessee Shad is a compact soft-plastic bait designed to tempt crappie and other panfish species. Built with a grub-style body and a long, thin tail, this minnow imitation moves with natural action right out of the package—even on a slow retrieve or a simple dead drift. The realistic profile and constant tail motion trigger strikes from suspended or schooling fish, making it a reliable choice whether you're fishing brush piles, standing timber, or open water.

Rigging is straightforward: a simple jig head through the body puts this bait to work immediately, and its compact 1.5" profile keeps things natural for cautious panfish. The Tennessee Shad color mimics native forage and matches the hatch in most freshwater systems where crappie hunt. Whether you're targeting white crappie, black crappie, or other panfish, this bait's built-in action reduces the need for constant rod movement, letting you cover water efficiently and set up for multiple presentations per cast.

Each pack contains 10 baits, giving you plenty of options for an afternoon on the water or multiple outings. The durable plastic holds up through multiple fish, pike nips, and snags, so you get solid mileage from each bait before it needs replacing.

The 1.5" body pairs well with light jig heads in the 1/32 to 1/16 ounce range for shallow water and brush. Adjust head weight based on water depth and current to maintain contact with the bottom or suspended structure.

How many baits are in each pack?

Each pack contains 10 baits, giving you multiple presentations for a single outing or backup baits if some are lost to fish or snags.

What makes the tail action so effective?

The long, thin tail is designed to move freely and create natural vibration even on minimal retrieve pressure, mimicking the erratic motion of live baitfish and triggering reactive strikes from panfish.
