Blakemore Slab Runner w/Baby Shad 1/16oz #2 Blue Grass

The Blakemore Slab Runner with Baby Shad is a compact underspin lure built for crappie anglers who want to cover water efficiently and match the forage these panfish actually chase. At 1/16 ounce with a #2 hook, this lightweight option excels in shallow cover, grass lines, and brush where crappie hunt. The combination of a proven Baby Shad body and a spinning head creates flash and vibration that draws strikes from both white and black crappie throughout the season.

Lightweight underspins like the Slab Runner shine when you're fishing vertical presentations around structure or casting into shallow pockets. The spinning blade generates enough attraction to call fish in from nearby cover without being heavy enough to sink fast—perfect for holding steady in the water column around downed timber, dock pilings, or submerged vegetation. The 1/16 ounce weight keeps your bait in the strike zone longer and works well on light rods and spinning reels.

Blue Grass is a natural, lifelike pattern that works across a wide range of conditions and water clarity. It's the kind of versatile color that produces consistently, whether you're fishing murky backwater or clearer creeks. Stock a few of these compact crappie lures in your tackle box for spring spawning runs, summer shallow-water action, and fall feeding windows when crappie are aggressive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to fish a 1/16 ounce crappie underspin?

The Slab Runner works great for vertical presentations around cover—think docks, brush, timber, and grass. Cast near structure and let it flutter down on a slack or slightly tight line. You can also work it with small, subtle twitches to trigger bites. The light weight keeps it in the strike zone longer, which gives crappie more time to react.

Will this underspin work in shallow water?

Absolutely. The 1/16 ounce weight is designed for shallow presentations where you want a slow, controlled descent. It's ideal for spring spawning areas, shallow grass lines, and the shallows around structure where crappie feed.

Is the Blue Grass pattern versatile?

Yes. Blue Grass is a natural, lifelike pattern that produces in most water clarity conditions and throughout the season. It's a solid choice when you're not sure what the fish prefer, and it will work during both active feeding windows and more selective periods.
