The Bleeding Shad from Timber Creek Hand-Tied Jigs is a proven crappie slayer that mimics an injured baitfish with lifelike detail. Its soft white chenille body laced with flashes of red and a bold crimson head gives the appearance of a bleeding shad—an irresistible target for predatory fish. The transparent tail with red specks adds subtle motion and flash, making this jig deadly in clear to lightly stained water.
Best Used For:
Clear to lightly stained water, where natural colors stand out
Early spring and fall, when baitfish schools are active
Spawning coves, rocky banks, and brush piles
Ideal for crappie, white bass, and even trout on bright days
Pro Tips:
Pair with a 1/16 oz head for a slow, wounded-bait fall that mimics an easy meal.
Use ultralight tackle and 4–6 lb line for maximum sensitivity and tail action.
Try vertical jigging or slow trolling near shad schools or brush piles.
When fish are sluggish, pause between lifts to let the red flash trigger instinctive strikes.
