Small profile, big results — the Baby Shad advantage
Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 days
The ATX Lures Baby Shad is a proven crappie-catching soft plastic, crafted in the USA for anglers who demand both performance and durability. Its shad-profile design mimics natural forage, making it irresistible to crappie, panfish, and even light-biting bass. With three size options and over 15 color choices, you’ll always have the right bait for the conditions.
Many small-profile lures tear after a couple of hookups. The Baby Shad is built tougher, giving you more fish per bait and the confidence to fish longer without constant re-rigging.

Compact, castable, and effective at all depths, the Baby Shad is ideal for kayak anglers looking to cover water efficiently. Its small size pairs perfectly with ultralight jig heads, making it deadly around docks, brush piles, and suspended schools of crappie.
Use 1.25" when fish are pressured or feeding on tiny forage, 2" as an all-around crappie size, and 2.5" when targeting larger crappie or bonus bass.
Pair Baby Shad with 1/32–1/16 oz jig heads for shallow and suspended fish. Step up to 1/8 oz in deeper water or windy conditions for better control.
In clear water, stick with natural shades like white, silver, or translucent. In stained water, brighter hues like chartreuse, black/chartreuse, and glow patterns perform best.
1.25" packs contain 30 baits, 2" packs contain 14 baits, and 2.5" packs contain 12 baits.
Yes — while designed for crappie, Baby Shad also attracts panfish and is effective for light-biting bass in finesse presentations.
