Quick take
A small slow-sinking crankbait with a rattle chamber and low-profile design for trout and panfish.
A compact 2.25-inch crankbait in a Fire Craw pattern that sinks slowly and covers the top two feet of the water column. It has two #10 treble hooks and a rattle inside. It is a fit for trout, bass, walleye and carp on light gear and a slow retrieve.

How to fish it
Crankbaits are usually fished on a steady retrieve that keeps the lure near the bottom or the cover.
Steady cranking
- Cast past the target and point the rod tip down toward the water.
- Reel at a steady medium pace until the lure reaches its depth.
- Keep it ticking the bottom or the cover, and pause when it deflects.

At 0.1 oz it runs to 2 ft, shallow enough to tick the tops of submerged grass and bump shallow wood.

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.
