Quick take
A 1 1/2 to 2 in ultralight crankbait painted to resemble a drowning grasshopper, sized for summer and fall topwater fishing.
This 1 1/2 inch Rebel Crickhopper is a grasshopper-shaped lure in a Fire Tiger finish that floats and weighs 3/32 ounce. It works on the surface with small twitches or as a steady crankbait, which suits bass and trout in summer and fall. Its light weight pairs well with ultralight spinning gear.
Best for
- Bass and panfish feeding on grasshoppers in summer and fall
- Trout in tailraces and reservoirs with steady retrieve
- Low light conditions where natural insect imitations work
Skip if
- You need a lure that dives deep or works subsurface
- Fishing in spring when grasshoppers are not active
Strengths
- Realistic grasshopper design and paint color
- Ultralight sizes work on light spinning or trout rods
- Can be fished as a topwater popper or shallow crankbait
Trade-offs
- Small size limits casting distance into headwinds
- Effective mainly during grasshopper season
- Ultralight hook may not hold large fish well
