Quick take
Slow-sinking hard bait with tight wobbly action and irregular slide movement for sea bass and flounder.
This 5.7 inch slow-sinking minnow weighs about 1.4 oz and carries a #3 treble hook. Its lip sits inside the body, which helps it fly on the cast, and it works down to roughly 2 m with a tight, quick wobble and roll. Anglers chasing shoreline flounder or sea bass in the middle of the water column will find it a good fit.
Best for
- Targeting sea bass and flounder
- Slow trolling in deeper channels
- Jigging over rough bottom structure
Skip if
- You need a floating crankbait
- You fish fast-moving current
Strengths
- Slow sink rate maintains depth in light current
- Tight wobbling action attracts low-activity fish
- Irregular slide generates bites on the drop
Trade-offs
- Heavy for its size limits distance casting

About this type
A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.
On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.
Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.
Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
