The Bobby Garland Baby Shad 2 inch is THE soft plastic for freshwater crappie fishing. Designed by master crappie angler Bobby Garland, this bait is known by crappie anglers everywhere for consistently turning slow slab days into memorable ones. It's basically a miniature 2-inch shad body with a straight tail appendage. While it looks like a do-nothing type of plastic, the tail has incredible action on everything from a cast and retrieve to vertical jigging and dead sticking it on light line. It is durable and features a plump profile body that tapers to a flapping and a spear-shaped tail that creates loads of enticing, dancing action that crappie can't resist.
Additionally, this bait comes in over 60 different color schemes, meaning there's a color to fit every situation, water clarity, and mood of a crappie. Grab an 18 pack today and watch the slabs pour in on your next outing!

Ned Rigs were introduced to me 3 years ago. I can always count on them to catch fish, any fish. Just like the Z-Man TRD, I can always count on Discount Tackle for quick delivery and fair prices. The box stores have gotten ridiculously priced. I found Discount Tackle this year and have ordered often from them several times times. I appreciate their pricing, inventory and fast delivery. Even paying shipping I’m saving money and getting the lures and colors I want. Discount Tackle is my go to store for stocking my tackle box!
Great reel but not sure TW is worth the price difference
I just picked up one of these after using a Lexa 300 HD for many seasons. I use them for fishing 2-5oz swimbaits on the California coast, typically in 30-100 FOW while drifting.
Pros compared with Lexa HD:
- I like that the TW line offers the lower 6.3:1 gear ratio that's marginally better for California halibut while still having essentially the same line per turn as the 7.4:1 Lexa HD, which I've found to be very beneficial while on the drift (I can't use the 6.3:1 Lexa HD in the afternoon, when the drift picks up, because it doesn't retrieve line fast enough to maintain good swimbait action)
- I do think it casts farther than the Lexa HD, but I'm still feeling out whether I think that extra distance is worth the extra cost
Cons compared with the Lexa HD:
- I prefer the HD's counter-balanced handle and smaller knob. I haven't yet had the TW's handle swing while casting, causing the spool to engage and cast to get cut short, which I've read online can happen; I've been purposefully positioning the handle before casting to avoid this, but I'd prefer not having to do that or think about this. And while you can find the other handle online and swap it on, that just adds to the cost (plus, some handles found online don't come with the appropriate nut plate and screw; you have to order them separately from Daiwa).
- Cost
But overall, it's still a Lexa, which means it's buttery smooth, well built and well sealed. If cost is not a factor, the TW is probably worth it, and I have seen them go on sale from time-to-time at a cost very similar to the HD.
