Tournament crappie anglers know to slow it down to coax more bites and Johnson lures do that so well. The new Johnson™ Crappie Buster® Shad Swimmer and Shad Curltail are designed to fish slow and cause crappie chaos under the water. The 2-inch offerings from Johnson are meant to be fished at a snails pace. The Shad Swimmer and Shad Curltail look real with their wider swimming action, especially in turbid waters. Much of the action is derived from the paddletail design for the Shad Swimmer and the tapered curled tail for the Shad Curltail. These tails give off a great wobble, tempting crappie with every stroke.
Anglers can rig these unique swimbaits on a small 1/32-ounce jig head. Cast out the bait and let it sink. For a slower fall rate, simply rig the bait on a smaller jig head. Slow roll the bait once the bait reaches the depths of where the crappie are located.
The hollow body cavity on Crappie Buster baits are ideal for Johnson Shad Scales. Injected Shad Scales release slowly throughout the water columns, creating a lifelike scale slick for fish to follow. Both Johnson Shad Swimmer and Shad Curltail come in a package of 10 baits with an MSRP of $1.99.
