Quick take
A compact floating crankbait, 1.5 inches and 1/8 ounce, built on a fat baitfish body that wiggles on the retrieve. It can be waked near the surface or cranked to about 3 feet for bass and panfish. This one wears the Tennessee Shad pattern, a natural look for shad-fed water.

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.
