Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" 18ct Sandfly

The Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2" is a compact soft plastic lure built specifically for crappie fishing. This 18-count pack in Sandfly color delivers the subtle profile and natural swimming motion that crappie can't resist. The Baby Shad combines a solid, realistic body with a thin, responsive tail that generates lifelike movement even on a light jig head—exactly what you need when crappie are being selective about what they'll strike.

What makes the Baby Shad work is simplicity: it looks like actual baitfish and moves like them too. The thin spear tail is engineered to stay in constant motion, creating flash and vibration that draws attention without looking overdone. Whether you're fishing a shallow spawning area or working structure in slightly deeper water, this bait performs across the conditions that typically produce crappie.

At 2 inches, the Baby Shad is sized for both black and white crappie, and the Sandfly color pattern works year-round in most freshwater conditions. With 18 baits in the pack, you'll have plenty to experiment with different rigging approaches—vertical jigging, light casting, or suspended presentations—without running out mid-outing.
