Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" 18ct Coppernose

The Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" soft plastic is a proven crappie lure built on a straightforward design: a compact, solid body paired with a thin, responsive spear tail. At two inches, this bait fits naturally in the strike zone where crappie hunt, whether you're fishing shallow brush, standing timber, or open water. The 18-count pack means you'll have backups when fish are active—or when that tail gets nipped off mid-session.

Crappie fishing rewards simplicity and repetition. The Baby Shad's modest profile and lifelike action suit jig-head rigs, drop-shot setups, and light spinning tackle. The Coppernose color option is a go-to choice for visibility and natural appeal across a range of water conditions. Stock a few packs and focus on presentation rather than switching lures constantly.

Whether you fish crappie tournaments, weekend family outings, or casual panfish days, this is the kind of bait that disappears quickly from your tackle box—not because it fails, but because it works and you use it. The 18-count pack keeps your cost reasonable while ensuring you're never caught light when the bite heats up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to rig a 2-inch Baby Shad for crappie?

A small jig head (typically 1/32 to 1/8 ounce, depending on depth and current) is the standard choice. Slide the soft plastic onto the hook point and work it near structure—brush, timber, or deeper holes where crappie hide. You can also use a drop-shot or light Texas rig if you prefer a different approach.

How many baits come in this pack?

Each pack contains 18 Bobby Garland Baby Shads, giving you plenty of baits for a full day of fishing or a tournament session.

Is Coppernose the right color for my water conditions?

Coppernose is a versatile, natural color that performs well across many water clarity levels. If you fish multiple waters or conditions regularly, having a couple of packs ensures you're covered without overthinking color selection.

Will this bait work for fish other than crappie?

The 2-inch size and shad profile attract other panfish and small gamefish, but it's designed specifically for crappie. If you target broader species, pair it with appropriate jig weights and structures for the species you're after.
