Quick take
A 15-pack of 2-inch soft plastic shads with tapered tails designed to trigger crappie into feeding.
This 2-inch soft plastic swimbait imitates a small shad, with a tapered tail that quivers as it moves. It comes as a pack of 15 in Tuxedo Black-Sparkle and was designed with crappie in mind. Anglers can cast it, fish it vertically, troll it slowly or rig it on a drop shot.
