Quick take
A compact squarebill crankbait that dives shallow and rattles to call fish in.
This lipless crankbait comes as a pack of three, each with a built-in rattle and treble hooks. It gives bass and walleye anglers a few vibrating baits to rotate through on one trip.
Best for
- Shallow grass beds and fallen trees
- Cranking along banks in spring and fall
- Bass and panfish in clear shallow water
Skip if
- You need a deep-diving profile
- You fish heavy cover
Strengths
- Squarebill lip deflects off cover without snagging easily
- Built-in rattle at 0.15 oz adds sound attraction
- Compact size fits natural forage size for many lakes
Trade-offs
- Shallow-diving design not effective beyond 4-5 feet
- Light weight limits casting distance in wind
- Small treble hooks better suited to bass than pike

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.
