Quick take
A small floating crankbait, 1.5 inches and 1/8 ounce, with a fat baitfish profile and a wiggling action. It runs from just under the surface down to about 3 feet, a good fit for bass and panfish around rocks and timber. This one comes in the Brown Crawdad pattern.

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.
