New Slab Magnet in Bass Pro Shops in Nashville

Guys it has finally been released and this is an awesome deal for the first 20 people to take advantage of this offer. Not only is this an awesome Crappie bait it is very good for smallmouth bass on the double cross head. Get these and be ready for the spring season. This is straight from Jeff Smith the owner of Leland Lures:
Trout Magnet just had the Slab Magnets put on the shelf at the Bass Pro in Nashville. They only put 10 colors in and only in that store to test them. Jeff wants to sell them. Jeff is giving packs away for anyone purchasing these in the stores. Jeff is giving a pack to the first 20 who posts a picture with them and the Slab Magnets in the store and post it on Facebook. Jeff is also giving away a free pack away for any pack they purchase. It is a buy one get one free deal. They just show us the receipt of how many they purchased and we will send them the packs.

when can I buy them online? I don't have Facebook and it's a good 45 minute drive to the store.

I was wondering that same question myself. Was at BPS last weekend and they were packaged in a variety of different colors. Do they just rig up on CM jig heads?

I have been around Jeff and Leland Lures for a longtime this will be another great product. I hope to drive from the Boro sometime this weekend to get some.

When I used them I rigged them on the double cross head and they worked great. Now I must admit I was using them for smallmouth and not crappie. But I have heard reports from the testers who were using them for crappie and they loved them. I think it will be a very good bait for multiple species.

Here are a couple of pics of the Slab Magnet. Been field testing the Slab Magnet since summer. I have never said anything about them as was not sure they would ever be made for sale. They were made for the Leland's Lures Crappie Teams that tournament fish to put bigger crappie in their live wells...and that they do. I however have caught everything on them. The small mouth love them. The magic color is....Midnight Blue. That color catches Smallies at Center Hill.....Pickwick.....and Nickajack. It is just a killer color for them...or has been for me. I rigged them on a Double Cross jig head but fishing below the dam at Pickwick I also put them on 1/4 and 1/2 ounce jig heads with a stronger hook as I was killing the white bass deep in the heavy current.

Those do look really good. If by some way I can make it to Nashville before Sunday I will pick some up and give them a try Sunday when I hit the lake for Crappie. If not it's minnows and standard C mags.

Man they look great! I really can't wait to use them for some crappie! Do you know if they are super soft like some of the others similar to it or are they more durable like crappie magnets.

They are pretty durable to me Isaac.

I can't make it to BPS this weekend but I'm definitely interesting in trying some of these out. Surely before Spring Crappie starts I'll pick up a few colors

When I first came in contact with this bait that is the same thought I had. Bobby Garland is a great bait. So I started a little research. It comes down to which came first "the chicken or the egg". There are hundreds of baits made on the so called "shad body". I don't know who was the first to come out with this style bait but these type baits have been around a long time. The Slab Magnet is little bigger with a different tail.
