A crawfish color built for prespawn bass and rocky structure.
We’re excited to introduce River Red, a new crawfish-inspired color for the AA Bad Bubba Shad.
Designed for the prespawn craw bite, River Red delivers the red craw profile bass key in on as water temperatures begin to rise.
The color is now available in 3”, 4”, and 5” Bad Bubba Shad sizes, giving anglers the ability to match conditions from finesse presentations to targeting bigger fish.
Built for the Prespawn Craw Bite
During the prespawn season, bass move from deeper winter areas toward rock banks, hard bottoms, and staging structure.
At the same time, crawfish become a primary food source.
A red craw presentation in these areas often triggers aggressive reaction bites as bass begin feeding heavily before the spawn.
River Red was designed specifically to match those natural crawfish tones.
River Red Color Breakdown
River Red features a simple but highly effective crawfish pattern:
- Deep red back with black flake
- Bright orange belly with gold flake
This combination creates a strong crawfish profile that stands out naturally around rock and hard cover.
When to Fish River Red
River Red shines during the prespawn season, when bass begin feeding heavily on crawfish.
As water temperatures rise, bass move into areas where crawfish live and feed.
Fish the Bad Bubba Shad in River Red around:
- Rock piles
- Chunk rock banks
- Hard bottom areas
- Staging points and breaks
These areas are where prespawn bass often ambush crawfish along the bottom.
