The Blakemore Slab Runner w/Baby Shad 1/16 #2 Monkey Milk is a compact underspinner jig built specifically for crappie anglers who want a natural presentation in shallow to moderate depths. This 1/16-ounce jig pairs a proven Road Runner head with a Bobby Garland Baby Shad body—a combination that has proven itself across crappie waters for decades. The Monkey Milk color is a classic choice that mimics natural baitfish in a wide range of light conditions, from bright midday sun to overcast skies.
Slab runner underspinners work best in situations where you need subtle vibration and flash without overwhelming the bite. The #2 hook on this 1/16-ounce model is sized right for the Baby Shad body, giving you secure hook sets on keeper-size crappie without tearing soft plastic. Whether you're fishing brush piles, dock pilings, or open water, this jig excels when crappie are moderately aggressive but still wary of heavy lures or aggressive presentations.
This is a workhorse option for spring and fall crappie seasons, when both white and black crappie respond well to compact, realistic soft-plastic profiles. The 1/16-ounce weight keeps your jigging action in the sweet spot—responsive to rod tip movements without sinking so fast that you lose contact with the lure or miss subtle strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish does the Slab Runner target?
This jig is designed for crappie—both black and white—in a variety of depth zones and cover types. The compact Baby Shad profile and 1/16-ounce weight make it especially effective for crappie in the 8- to 14-inch range.
What water conditions and seasons work best for this jig?
The Slab Runner with Baby Shad excels during spring and fall crappie seasons when fish are moderately active. It's a solid all-around choice in clear to slightly stained water and works well in brush, dock pilings, and open-water suspending situations.
How does the underspinner blade work?
The spinning blade on the Road Runner head creates subtle vibration and flash as the jig falls or is jigged. This triggers strikes without the aggressive action that can spook wary crappie—a key advantage over solid jigheads.
Is the Monkey Milk color good in low-light conditions?
Monkey Milk is a natural, versatile color that performs well across a wide range of light conditions, from bright sun to overcast days. It's a reliable all-purpose choice when you're not sure exactly what the fish want on a given day.
