Bobby Garland ITTYBIT Slab Hunter 1.25in 20ct Coppernose

The Bobby Garland ITTYBIT Slab Hunter 1.25in soft plastic is purpose-built for targeting crappie, especially when fish are being selective about bait size. This compact, finesse-focused lure delivers the proven Bobby Garland minnow profile in a downsized format—ideal for matching the small forage crappie naturally feed on. The ribbed body design does double duty: it creates subtle vibration in the water column and provides additional surface texture to hold scent more effectively, giving you an edge when crappie are feeding cautiously.

The Slab Hunter's tail-dominant action mimics the natural swimming motion of live minnows, making it a go-to choice for panfish anglers who need a realistic presentation on light jigs or small hooks. Whether you're working shallow structure, creek channels, or tight cover during early morning or late afternoon periods, this lure's small profile fits the bill. The Coppernose color option offers a natural, baitfish-like appearance that triggers strikes in clear to moderately stained water.

You get 20 baits per package, giving you plenty of inventory for a full day on the water or stocking multiple rigs. The 1.25-inch size slots perfectly into the finesse category—small enough to target selective crappie but substantial enough to cast effectively on ultralight tackle. If you're serious about matching the hatch and presenting downsized offerings, this is the kind of lure that separates consistent catches from slow days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish species is the ITTYBIT Slab Hunter designed for?

The Slab Hunter is purpose-designed for crappie, particularly when fish are being finicky about bait size. The small 1.25-inch profile is ideal for matching the natural forage crappie feed on and for presentations where upsized baits won't draw strikes.

What makes the ribbed body design beneficial?

The ribbed texture serves two functions: it creates subtle vibration that attracts fish in the water column, and it holds scent more effectively than a smooth body, improving your bait's ability to trigger strikes from cautious crappie.

How many baits come in each package?

Each package contains 20 baits, giving you plenty for a full fishing day or allowing you to rig multiple poles and presentations without running short.

What color option is this, and when should I use it?

This is the Coppernose color variant, which offers a natural baitfish appearance. It works well in clear to moderately stained water conditions where a realistic forage-matching presentation is most effective.
