Quick take

A 7/8 oz jointed minnow that dives to 13 feet with a responsive darting action powered by its jointed body.

The 5-1/4-inch Crystal 3D Minnow Deep Diver in Red Head is a floating jointed jerkbait with a long lip that dives to about 13 feet. Its red head color makes it a practical pick for anglers who want a darting minnow bait to work through deeper water.

Best for

Trolling near deeper structure
Bass hunting below thermoclines
Covering water on casting retrieve

Skip if

Fishing shallow cover where snags are likely
Targeting panfish that prefer smaller lures

Strengths

Double stainless steel hinges allow the jointed body to dart erratically on retrieve
3D prism finish throws light reflection at depth
The 7/8 oz weight casts well on medium-power rods

Trade-offs

At 7/8 oz it requires heavier tackle than smaller cranks
Deep-diving profile limits use in shallow water
Jointed design makes the lure deeper diving than comparable solid bodies

Fishing fit

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
