This bait has been so dependable for years. I have depended on this bait since I first started bass fishing. Rapala has amazing quality

Awesome lure was catching largemouth smallmouth pickerel

5 mcdoud2
This one might not land the largest fish but if you want to have a great time catching medium sized fish you got ta try this one! Northern Pike love it and Smallmouth hit as well.

5 Lee13
Used this bait in a clear water lake in May and caught Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and White Bass on the same fishing trip. It really looks and swims like a bait fish.

5 basssniperU1
I got the color closest to our natural crawfish. Bass really inhale this lure. Dives deep enough and works well around docks as long as there is a reasonably clean bottom. Did not have to tune this lure as it runs straight right out of the box. Retrieve and pause works the best. Most hits on when the lure is stopped.

5 Da big fish Thomas
Excellent crank bait.. Perfect tight swim pattern.

5 Icewater22
I fished the bluegill color because that's the primary food source for the bass in my like. It always catches fish. Buy 2, you ca n't go wrong..

5 James

5 Chris
I have caught big bass with the DT10. So far 6lb is biggest. I run it thru the tops of brush about 6- 8'. I have many Rapala's and two of a few and this is one of them. I like the chartreuse and brown for stained water.

Have caught more bass on this lure than any other over the course of close to 2 decades. Best colors are shad, crawdad and perch. Works for largemouth and smallmouth.

5 trb4me
This bait worked great for me and caught many fish. Unfortunately, the plastic lip broke off on mine.

5 stuball56
This is an excellent addition to any tackle box. Works great trolled, cast, and is also a great top water for bass. Cast it out onto the glass smooth morning/evening water, let it sit a minute, give it a couple twitches and........... BAM, fish on! Looks fantastic, and it works. Rapala are the only `` crank baits '' I use now.

5 4Man
Great bait. This order was to replenish my stock.

Have purchased several of these because they work! The jointed lures have good motion. Can just Cast, Retrive Slowly, and Catch Fish. Easier to use that a standard jerk bait.

5 Dickie69
I bought this lure in NY to fish the Erie Canal. I already have just about every size of this lure and various colors as well. Over the years, this lure has been a go to when the bite is hot or when it gets tough. The action on it is amazing. You can float it, twitch it, run it down a foot or two or deeper. A true classic that has produced many, many fish for me over the 30+ years I 've owned one!

The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap crankbait is my go to lure when it comes down yo fishing. When the fish are not biting I tie this baby on and she always seems to bull through. This bait is amazing at enticing the bass to bite.

5 Possumbait
Great crank bait-- effective with smallmouth bass, rockfish and redeye. use it almost exclusively for smallmouth!

5 FisherJ
The jointed shad rap has caught me largemouth when others failed. It floats, dives quickly, and suspends. When you learn a proper technique for retrieval, you will surely catch fish. I recommend the perch color.

5 Stacey55
Runs true, dives down to about twelve feet trolled and has great suspended action. Fishes as well as baits costing twice the price.

5 Zck96
This is a great all around lure. I buy it in the uv green tiger and it kills on days when nothing else works. I have caught almost every type of freshwater game fish in my area south eastern NY with this lure including but not limited to trout, bass, pickerel, muskies and perch. This is an essential part of an anglers tackle box.

5 TheJoker
I like this little crankbait. Casts far and I just rip it out of grass and brush. You can catch bass with this thing. I got mine in the Orange Tiger UV.

5 HaiZack
Definitely my go to lure. If you just wan na catch a fish tie one of these on. Its small but VERY loud for a tiny lipless crankbait. Can cast really good even with a bait caster and is fairly aerodynamic, lands straight and belly down `` 99% '' of the time. I use this for both salt and fresh water. Ive caught panfish of many sizes along with bass, chain pickerel, crappie, white+ yellow perch, red drum, baby striper barely longer than the bait to 20+ inchers. Its just a fish catcher! Colors I mainly use for this are helsinki shad and blue chrome( pure personal opinion but Im sure all the colors work). Im trying the pink tiger next! Random: This was one of the first rapala lures Ive ever bought back in the day( Im only 18, lol) and it quickly became a lure I always had faith in. Whenever I was feelin one of those `` not so serious '' kind of fishing days Id always have at least one of these in my mini tackle crate.

I bought this about a week ago tried it a couple times I have n't caught anything yet but I have a split body tiger color and it works great sometimes it's my go to

Love the action on these. It gets a lot of attention while still or at a crank. I will now have to buy in every color.

5 Dixonville O.
I bought my first Crickhopper over 25 years ago, and it has been my number 2 highest producing lure.

5 Anonymous
I regularly fish open water and smaller creeks. The Rebel Crickhopper Lure is my legendary favorite. I primarily fish for Bluegill and other panfish. Whenever the time of day is right and the fish are around, the hits are almost 100%. I use the crickhopper with 6# fluorocarbon line and a small Zebco( 33, 22, etc.). No need on spending more with this lure.

5 Anonymous
I bought two Crickhoppers to try out with my ultralight tackle and was surprised at how many panfish I caught. Just about anything will go after them too. I 've caught plenty of largemouth on them. The natural colors work best for me on sunny days, pick one up and you wo n't regret it!

5 Dave
I love Rebel lures, they look so real and are priced very well too. The crickhopper is my go to ultralight fishing lure. On small creeks and ponds its deadly. It catches fish every time I fish it. I have all the color patterns. You ca n't go wrong with these great little lures.

Strike kings makes great crankbaits. The cast great get in the zone fast and stay there.

5 Mr. Bill
This time of the year, being summer time the water temps are high... the 6XD crank bait gets down to the right thermal climb where the fish are suspended.. the floating feature is a plus.. crank then stop.. bass hit alot of times as the crank bait starts to float up... long casts are reqired to get the lure down deep.. also fluorocarbin line is a must.. also good to troll with.. bouncing off the bottom works also.

5 Scooter
I 've been catching large mouth and spotted bass with this lure all winter. The gizzard shad and the sexy shad are my go to colors. Throw it across a rocky point in about 10- 15' of water and slowly crank it across the bottom. Make sure you bounce it off the rocks and hold on. The bass crush it. I will always use the 6XD or the 5XD. Strike King makes the best crank baits i 've ever used.

5 Matthew
Reaches the depths to reach the school on a warmer Summer day. Nice wiggle and great colors.

5 Beaver B.
I use the crawfish in rivers lakes and it is amazing! They catch panfish bass trout anything I suggest the color stream crawfish.

5 Great L.
I mainly fish ponds. And it's great for them. It seems to me that I catch more fish close to cover or a structure. Definitely recommend this product.

5 Walleye
these are absolutely amazing it does n't matter where you fish lakes, ponds, rivers, calm water, moving rapids they catch every thing catfish, bass, perch, trout, but my favorite is running through rapids off a dam to catch walleye. I change out he hooks they come with to number 12 blood red hooks for added effect

5 Rilian
Works great on stocked trout when slow- trolled 0. 5-. 12 MPH. Only downside is that trout often easily throw it at the net. Changing out back hook to a# 10 does help somewhat. Firetiger and Red work the best in spring conditions.

Been using these for seems like ever. From 6 lb small mouth in Lake Erie to trout and walleye in Colorado its pretty much what I only fish with if not fly fishing. Just wish Rebel had n't got rid of the 2 inch silver color years back. Silver, bright green and light brown/white were my go too's. Now I can only fish silver in smaller which does n't troll as well.

5 J5

5 Ryan M.
Winter fishing is tough around here with the frequent rain and fast moving high water on the Hiwassee River. I had some free time and wanted to try for some small mouth. The wee- craw was already tied on, so I tried it out. Almost immediately were the trout hitting it. I was impressed to have caught anything with the water level and speed. The lure has good action and color, I will keep one with me when stream or river fishing.

5 Mike
June 28, 2020! I used a strawberry colored craw! Total for the day was 3 Pike 5 lbs or over! One 9lb Pike 3 smallmouth bass and several eating size Walleyes! That little lure took a beating and if the 9 lb Pike had of made one more run the hooks would have straightened out! I will be buying more of these! My fishing Buddy was amazed! This is not the first time I have had great production from this bait!

5 Rugrb5
I have doing well on rainbow trout with the CD- 1& CD- 5 silver( Cant seem to find the CD- 3 ever). I prefer the CountDown( sinking) over the original( floating) models. Floating models are too light to cast well. The CD- 1 really seem to work well for trout, simulate minnows the trout feed on. Nice slow retrieve. They will ignore one size totally and then hit on a different size lure minutes apart so keep a couple different sizes and try until you find the one they want. Work for Bass as well.

5 littlebuddymicah
Why would I rate a bait, without having the opportunity to use it yet? Because these baits WILL catch fish, they have before and of course these new replacements are of the same quality. If you stick to baits that have great reputations and have a proven track record, you can ’ t go wrong.

I own a number of strike king lipless crank baits. And have had moderate success with them. This was my first purchase of one with the tungsten 2- tap. On my first boating trip of the year. The bite was slow on the Reservoir. The strike king 2- tap in the chili craw pattern got my only bite of the day. A Maryland PB smallmouth. Though it was only 1 fish. I feel confident that there will be more to follow this spring.

I used every option in this kit. First thing in the morning I used the pop R, and fish would hit it as soon as it hit the water. Once the sun was out, we switched to the crickhopper and wee crawfish. Kept catching them all day. At one point we got to a bigger section of river, tied on the little crank bait, and even started catching small bass! Perfect for every occasion!

5 Russell
i really enjoyed the options in the kit. You have crankbaits as well as a topwater popper. a lot of the time you do n't have to even crank the crickhopper. Wiggle it a bit and they will hit it on top. Crawfish and grasshoppers always great snacks for panfish and bass.

5 Cwat320
Fishing small Arkansas ponds and rivers I 've caught more crappie and bream on the little grasshopper than is ever imagine. If that does n't work, out comes the crawfish. These two alone are well worth the$ 10 for this kit. I do n't use the other two as much, but in my eyes they were free anyway!

5 ASC8307
I started using most of these back in the 90s when I started fishing. So when I recently saw the 4- pack I picked one up to replace old and lost lures, and recommended it to my brother, who finally got into fishing. These lures are still some of my standbys, especially for smaller waters, even though I have hundreds more, and my brother relies heavily on them. I have been using the grasshopper since the beginning. Throw it under overhanging trees and near tall grass or cattails to imitate a bug that landed in the water. `` Twitch and pause '' to get fish's attn, rather than cranking it straight in, especially if the surface is calm. Works great for bluegills and bass. I bought the crayfish to fish in streams for trout and smallmouth bass. Works well in clear water and over rocky bottoms. The Wee- R( the little fish), in this color can imitate a fish or a crayfish. I was surprised at how effective it was. I caught a lot of bass in shallow rocky or muddy areas. Personally, I 've had less success with the popper, but I know people who swear by these things. Try it around dawn and dusk, or on overcast days( low light gives it a tempting silhouette), and experiment with a sharp twitch followed by a long pause, a series of quick twitches, then a pause, and other cadences until you find on that works.

At first when i got this it was just a tackle filler but then one day the bass and other predetorial fish were just smashing bait fish in the weeds off a drop off so i decided to swim it slow off the shallow and then heavilly crank it off tye drop off and then boom a three pound small mouth just smashes the lure.

Does what it says. Rip hard and you feel tons of vibration and resistance. Crank slower and you can see your rod tip bouncing. If you 're looking for a rip bait this is a good one to try.

I have had great luck with this lure. Switched from my old faithful and on the 2nd cast the fish started hitting. In about 45 mins I had landed 9 fish until we ran out of daylight. Last night my wife and I took our 11yr old son fishing... again I set him up with my old faithful... no action. Switched him to the rebel teeny and first cast he landed a Guadalupe Bass.

5 Millwood Lake Guide Service
Having ran Millwood Lake Guide Service for over 22 years in sw Arkansas, I can tell you dont hit the lake without a plano box full of these in various colors for varying water conditions. Because our lake can change color in a matter of hours with high wind and thunderstorms, I prefer the 3/4 oz Rat- L- Trap in 3- 4 basic patterns. Silverado, aka, Millwood Magic, Red Shad, Toledo Gold, and the newer Zombie patterns are hands down, best there is. I always have 3 rods rigged up with 3/4 or 1/2 oz sizes, and in muddy conditions go up to the 1 oz size for increased racket and chatter. Have lost count of the thousands of Florida Bass here we have caught and released on Traps from Spring through Fall and into the Winter months. Do n't leave the boat ramp without a few of these Bass Magnets!!

Whether you are a tournament veteran or just enjoy catching more fish, every angler needs a Bill Lewis Rat- L- Trap in their tackle box.

Frequently Asked Questions For Realistic Crankbaits

Realistic crankbaits are designed to mimic the appearance and movement of natural prey, such as fish, in the water. They typically feature lifelike colors, patterns, and finishes that attract predatory fish. When retrieved, these baits create vibrations and erratic movements that trigger a fish's instinct to strike, making them effective tools for anglers.

Realistic crankbaits are often made from durable materials such as plastic or wood, which contribute to their buoyancy and action in the water. The choice of material can affect the bait's weight, sound, and overall performance. Additionally, many crankbaits are coated with high-quality finishes to enhance their lifelike appearance and protect against wear and tear.

Realistic crankbaits are versatile and can be used in various fishing scenarios, including freshwater and saltwater environments. They are particularly effective in situations where fish are actively feeding on baitfish or during specific seasons when certain species are more aggressive. Anglers often use them for targeting species like bass, pike, and trout.

Choosing the right size of realistic crankbait depends on the type of fish you are targeting and the size of the baitfish in the area. Generally, larger crankbaits are used for bigger species, while smaller ones are more suitable for panfish or smaller predatory fish. It's important to match the size of the crankbait to the local forage to increase your chances of success.

Floating realistic crankbaits are designed to rise to the surface when not being retrieved, making them ideal for shallow water fishing and topwater action. Sinking crankbaits, on the other hand, dive to various depths and are useful for targeting fish that are deeper in the water column. The choice between floating and sinking depends on the fishing conditions and the behavior of the fish.
