Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2″ Soft Plastic Crappie Bait

The Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2″ is a classic soft plastic panfish and crappie bait trusted by anglers for decades. Designed by master crappie angler Bobby Garland, this lure features a plump minnow‑style body with a thin, spear‑shaped tail that produces irresistible “dancing” action even with slight rod twitches or gentle currents. Its lifelike profile, supple soft plastic, and subtle tail movement make it highly effective for crappie, white bass, bluegill, and other freshwater panfish across a variety of conditions. Whether vertical jigging, suspended under a bobber, or cast and retrieved along brush and structure, the 2″ Baby Shad consistently turns slow days into productive ones and remains a staple in tackle boxes everywhere.
