Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" 18ct Cherry Lime

The Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" in Cherry Lime is a compact soft plastic lure built for crappie fishing. These 2-inch baits combine a solid body with a thin spear tail designed to move with minimal effort—you'll notice the tail action immediately when you work it through the water. At 18 count per pack, you get plenty of baits to work different areas, experiment with rigging, or restock after a productive day on the water.

What makes the Baby Shad effective is its profile and the tail design. The spear tail generates subtle, natural movement even on light jigs or slow presentations, which is exactly what crappie respond to. The 2-inch size sits in that sweet spot for slab fishing—small enough to be realistic but substantial enough to cast and fish with confidence. Cherry Lime is a proven color that works across various water clarity conditions.

Whether you're fishing shallow brush, creek channels, or open water, this lure works on light jigheads, small crappie rigs, or even under a bobber. The solid body holds up to repeated casts, and the pack size means you won't run out mid-bite. If you fish for crappie—or want to try other panfish like bluegill and perch—the Baby Shad deserves a spot in your tackle box.
