Blakemore Slab Runner w/Baby Shad 1/16 #2 White

The Blakemore Slab Runner with Baby Shad is a compact jig built for crappie anglers who target shallow structure and brush. This 1/16-ounce underspinner pairs a small silhouette with a #2 hook, making it ideal for finesse presentations in creeks, ponds, and standing timber where crappie stack up. The white color matches natural baitfish and stays visible in stained water—a go-to choice when you need a subtle offering that still gets bit.

Underspin jigs like the Slab Runner excel in situations where a vertical presentation matters: around pilings, creek channels, laydowns, and deep brush. The blade and head combination creates just enough flash and vibration to draw attention without spooking cautious fish. At 1/16 ounce, this weight is light enough to fall naturally through shallow cover and heavy enough to reach deeper pockets without spending all day getting there.

Crappie fishermen know that lure selection often comes down to matching the hatch—and the Baby Shad body profile does exactly that. White is a staple in crappie tackle boxes because it works across seasons and water conditions. Load a few in your box for spring spawns, summer brush fishing, and fall schooling action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fish will the Slab Runner catch?

The 1/16-ounce weight and #2 hook are sized for crappie and other panfish. This is a finesse jig, not a pike or bass setup.

When should I throw an underspin jig for crappie?

Underspin jigs work best for vertical presentations around cover—brush, timber, and structure—where crappie hold. Spring spawns, summer deep-brush periods, and fall schooling are prime opportunities.

Is white a good color choice for crappie?

Yes. White is a reliable all-season crappie color that matches natural baitfish, stays visible in stained water, and works across a range of conditions.

What's the difference between the 1/16-ounce and heavier versions?

The 1/16-ounce size falls slowly and is best for shallow structure and finesse situations. The 1/8-ounce (which uses a #1 hook) reaches deeper water and covers water faster. Choose based on depth and the cover you're fishing.
