Leland Crappie Magnet Hammer 8pc Mermaid

The Leland Crappie Magnet Hammer 8pc Mermaid is a soft plastic crappie bait designed to deliver consistent results whether you're running forward-facing sonar on open water or working traditional presentations. Each bait measures 2-3/8 inches—a size proven effective for targeting slab crappie in a variety of conditions. The Mermaid color option in this 8-piece pack gives you enough baits to fish a full session or experiment across multiple areas without running dry.

This bait was designed with input from Brandon Smith, a crappie specialist who understands what triggers bites when fish are actively feeding. The Hammer works best paired with a 1/8 or 3/16 jig head, making it versatile enough for finesse presentations in shallow cover or open-water drop-offs. If you're running live imaging sonar and want a bait that shows up clearly and tracks naturally through the water column, the Hammer delivers the profile and action that keeps fish committed long enough to set the hook.

Whether you're a sonar-guided crappie hunter or a traditional jigging enthusiast, this pack gives you reliable baits that match the patterns crappie respond to. Stock a few packs in your tackle bag—soft plastics wear out fast when you're putting fish in the boat regularly, and having backup colors and fresh baits on hand eliminates mid-session runs to the store.
