The Blakemore Reality Shad 1/16oz crappie bait is a compact, ready-to-fish lure designed for anglers targeting crappie and other panfish in shallow water. At under 3.75 inches, this finesse presentation casts easily and mimics the natural forage crappie actively feed on. The 2-pack gives you a backup when one gets bit off or tangled, so you stay fishing instead of retying.
Built with a Pro 2.0 head featuring prism eyes and detailed scale pattern molding, the Reality Shad looks alive in the water. A brass willow blade adds flash and vibration—subtle enough for pressured fish but effective enough to draw strikes in weedy areas, around dock pilings, and along brush lines where crappie hide.
The 1/16oz weight keeps it light enough to work in shallow, clear water without spooking fish, and it casts well on ultralight spinning gear. This is the kind of lure that works year-round for white crappie and black crappie, whether you're fishing a farm pond, creek system, or small reservoir. The Banana Creme color profile fits the natural forage profile crappie see most often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish will the Reality Shad catch?
This lure is designed for crappie, but the small profile and light weight also work for other panfish and finesse-minded bass in clear, shallow water.
Is this lure pre-rigged?
Yes. The Reality Shad comes rigged and ready to tie to your line and cast—no assembly or additional hardware needed.
What rod and reel setup should I use?
At 1/16oz, this lure shines on ultralight spinning gear. A 4- to 6-foot ultralight rod paired with a small spinning reel loaded with 4- to 8-pound test line is ideal for accurate casting and good feel.
Why is the Banana Creme color a good choice?
Banana Creme is a natural forage color that matches the small shad and minnows crappie feed on regularly, making it an effective all-around choice for both clear and lightly stained water.
