Bobby Garland Swimmin Minnow 2" 15ct Crystal Shad

The Bobby Garland Swimmin Minnow 2" in Crystal Shad is a soft plastic crappie bait engineered for anglers targeting slab crappie in shallow to mid-depth water. At 2 inches, these baits are sized right for crappie that want a realistic profile without overshooting the mark—small enough to fool selective fish, substantial enough to cast and fish confidently on light tackle. The Crystal Shad color mimics natural baitfish in clear to moderately stained water, making it a versatile choice across seasons and conditions.

What sets the Swimmin Minnow apart is the swimming tail action. Unlike static soft plastics, the tail's design produces a natural undulating motion on the drop and retrieve, triggering strikes from suspended crappie and fish holding around cover. This is the kind of detail that separates a productive day from a slow one, especially in late spring and summer when crappie are aggressive but picky about what they'll commit to.

Whether you're fishing vertical presentations around brush piles, casting to dock pilings, or working creek channels, the Swimmin Minnow's realistic profile and responsive tail work across multiple rigging options. A 15-count pack gives you enough baits to experiment with different depths, presentations, and locations without constantly restocking.
