This is a Bass Lab EXCLUSIVE! For years I've been searching for a hard thumping, flat-sided, balsa crankbait to target finicky bass. I wanted a dense, high float balsa bait that casted like a bullet and was designed cranking cover. Think rock, wood, shell, and gravel bars in the spring and fall. So, I teamed up with the BIG M to bring my vision to life.

The shallow runner baits dive 3-5 feet depending on line size and the medium runner will hit 6-8 feet and can take a beating because of how the BIG M preps his balsa! Finally, the EPIC Shad has a durable killer custom paint job by TK Stanley @ Tackle Kraft. Pair these up with a round bend size 5 or 6 treble and you are good to go. Sneaky tip--use a Red Gammakatsu hook on the belly hook, and use a pull and stop retrieve while you're cranking through cover--you'll thank me later!
