Lake Fork Live Baby Shad 2.25" - 15ct Blue Pearl

The Lake Fork Live Baby Shad 2.25" soft plastic is a compact finesse bait that delivers serious action on crappie and other panfish. At just over two inches, this smaller profile mimics natural prey in lakes and ponds where crappies hunt baitfish. The blue pearl finish adds flash and visibility in varying water clarity, while the double segmented body design triggers reactive strikes even on light presentations—perfect when fish are being picky about what they commit to.

Lake Fork engineered the Live Baby Shad with super soft plastic construction that responds instantly to rod tip movement. Drop it on a light jig head, twitch it subtly near cover, or work it through vegetation, and the flexible segments flex and dart with minimal input. This is finesse fishing at its best: you don't need aggressive twitches to make the bait come alive. The garlic scent impregnation adds a chemical attractant layer that fish key in on, especially useful when sight feeding is limited or competition is high.

This 15-count pack gives you enough bait for multiple outings or to stock patterns in different colors and weights. Whether you're drop-shotting open water, pitching tight to docks, or working shallow brush, the 2.25" size balances castability with a natural profile. Lake Fork Trophy Baits backs this design with a reputation for attention to detail—these aren't generic soft plastics, they're purpose-built for the finesse presentations that catch crappies consistently.
