Epic Shad Family Set--New for 2026!

This is a Bass Lab EXCLUSIVE which now includes the Baby Epic Shad! For years I've been searching for a big-bodied, flat-sided, balsa crankbait to target bigger bass. I wanted a big high float balsa bait that was designed for cover cranking. Think shallow rock, wood, shell, gravel bars and pre-emergent grass for those bigger spring pre/post-spawn females. So, I teamed up with the BIG M to bring my vision to life. And now we've added the Baby Epic Shad which has the same action as the Junior but just in a more compact package. The family set comes with all three sizes with Lexan bills.

The result is a hand-carved 3/8 to 5/8 oz plus crankbait with a tight action that moves plenty of water and triggers those bigger bites. Because these baits are so buoyant, they back out of cover like a champ...with a secondary action "wobble" on the rise that triggers strikes! The custom single ticker rattle also creates just enough noise to draw big mamma's attention.

These baits dive 3-5 feet depending on line size and are finished tough! Finally, all the EPIC Shads have a durable killer custom paint job by TK Stanley @ Tackle Kraft. Pair these up with a round bend or EWG size 2, 3 or 4 trebles for the full size EPIC, Junior, and Babay 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! Limited Runs. These sell out fast.
