Crappie Buster® Shad Tubes

The Johnson Crappie Buster is a lifelike shad tube imitator that comes in 12 unique colors that stand out from the rest of the panfish soft plastic game. When crappie and bluegill start feeding on larger baitfish this is the bait to throw. This 2in crappie tube is one of Johnson’s most versatile panfish plastics because of its ability to look deadly on just about any panfish rig.
