Blind Squirrel Baits 2" "Ripcurl Slab" Crappie and Panfish Curly Tail Slab Smasher

When you're on the hunt for aggressive slabs, the Blind Squirrel Baits 2" "Ripcurl Slab" delivers wave after wave of curly-tail action. With a meaty, rounded head for easy rigging and a long tapering body that ends in a tightly curled tail, this bait unleashes high-frequency undulations that demand attention in stained, windy, or current-heavy conditions.

The oversized tail kicks into gear instantly—even on slow retrieves or vertical drops—making it ideal for both cold front sluggish fish and warm water active feeders. The body design adds just enough profile to draw attention without overwhelming finicky eaters, and the injection-molded construction ensures consistent tail action across every bait in the pack.

Whether you’re fishing brush, docks, open water schools, or vertical bluffs, the Ripcurl Slab is a crappie and panfish destroyer with versatility baked into its DNA.

• Vertical Jigging: Drop it straight down in cribs or through ice holes—tail action does the rest.
