Blakemore Slab Runner w/Baby Shad 1/16 #2 Chart Silver

The Blakemore Slab Runner with Baby Shad is a compact, versatile underspin designed for crappie anglers who want a reliable lure that imitates natural baitfish. This 1/16 oz model pairs a proven underspin head with Bobby Garland's Baby Shad body, creating a combination that works across seasons and water conditions. Whether you're targeting spawning crappie in spring, summer schools near structure, or fall concentrations, the Slab Runner delivers a natural profile and subtle action that keeps crappie coming back.

The chartreuse silver color pattern cuts through stained water and low-light conditions while remaining visible to fish in clearer lakes and ponds. At 1/16 oz, this weight excels in shallow to moderate depths and allows for precise casting around docks, brush, and weed edges—the kind of tight spots where crappie hide. The #2 hook is sized to match the Baby Shad body and provides solid hookup geometry for panfish that take the lure deliberately but don't always commit fully.

Underspins have earned their place in the crappie box because they create flash and vibration on the fall and during the retrieve, triggering strikes from inactive fish. The Slab Runner works as a standalone option or rounds out a complete underspin selection when you're matching different water colors and depths throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size crappie will this lure catch?

The #2 hook and natural Baby Shad profile are sized for crappie of all sizes, from keeper-class fish to larger specimens. The lighter 1/16 oz weight allows for more sensitive detection of bites from smaller crappie while still being effective on larger school fish.

When should I use chartreuse silver for crappie?

Chartreuse silver works well in stained water, early morning, late evening, and overcast days. The high-visibility chartreuse helps fish locate the lure while the silver flash adds attraction. In clearer water or bright conditions, you may want to switch to more natural color patterns.

Can I use this in deep water?

The 1/16 oz weight is designed for shallow to moderate depths. For deeper water or faster sinking rates, you would want to step up to a heavier underspin option.
