Quick take

A five-piece set of micro crankbaits with realistic 3D eyes, each tuned for 1 to 4 feet of water.

This is a five-piece set of micro shallow crankbaits with 3D eyes and treble hooks, aimed at working the top few feet of the water column. The small hard-bodied baits suit anglers chasing bass, trout, panfish, walleye and pike in lakes, ponds and streams. A tackle box comes with the set, which makes it an easy way for a newer angler to try several finishes of a small crankbait.

Best for

  • Shallow flats and grass edges
  • Panfish and smaller bass
  • Clear water where sight-feeding occurs

Skip if

  • You need to fish deeper than 4 feet
  • You target large bass or pike with heavy cover

Strengths

  • Realistic fish patterns with 3D eyes trigger strikes
  • Rhythmic rattle attracts fish in murky water
  • Light weight casts easily on finesse setups

Trade-offs

  • 1 to 4 foot depth range limits versatility
  • Small treble hooks require careful handling on aggressive fish
  • Shallow diving means frequent snags around weeds

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.
