Quick take
A pocket-sized floating crankbait, 1.5 inches and 1/8 ounce, with a fat baitfish body and a wiggling swim. It can be waked along the surface or cranked down to about 3 feet, which suits ponds, streams and open lakes. Bass and panfish anglers will find it handy around rocks and stumps, and this one is the Bass pattern.
Best for
- Clear streams and ponds with young baitfish
- Crappie and panfish in shallow water

Skip if

- You need depth capability; this lure maxes out at 3 ft
Strengths

- Fat baitfish profile imitates young baitfish effectively
- Wiggling action on retrieve triggers panfish and crappie
Trade-offs

How to fish it
This floating crankbait rises when you stop reeling, which makes a stop-and-go retrieve work. Crankbaits are usually fished on a steady retrieve that keeps the lure near the bottom or the cover.
Stop and go
- Crank the lure down with several fast turns.
- Stop for a second and let the lure rise slowly.
- Repeat all the way back to the bank or boat.
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.
How deep and around what
At 1/8 oz it runs to 3 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.
