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.

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. The lure speaks for itself!

5 Anonymous
I got one of these in brown crawdad as part of the Little Critters 4pack and was amazed at how many bass it caught. Anytime they are feeding on crayfish in shallow water( muddy or rocky bottoms) this is a good choice. It catches lots of bluegill too.

This is the best bait I have ever owned. I could not be more impressed with this bait. I have caught crappies, bass, and bluegills in multiple lakes under all conditions with this bait. My friends have even nicknamed this lure `` the magnet '' because if there are fish, this lure catches them.

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.

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 used this lure in Wisconsin. It was bass pattern and had the three treble hooks. The lure performed beautifully staying a foot under the water and acting like a wounded bait fish. I caught a 34 inch northern pike in about ten minutes with the lure. I would recommend the lure to anyone. Great price and value

5 Jacob
I Used the Tracdown for trout fishing, had the rainbow, and brown, I used the 5/8 size. The bigger size it seemed the trout did not want to hit it. With the 5/8 size the smallest fish we had for the day was around 16 in, We had a few in the 21 range, and even had one over 21. We used it somewhat fast moving water but it was pretty deep. we found out that if we was casting across the river current, that the lure was not giving the right action, So we would cast down river and bring it back to us, we had a fish on every few cast. One thing we found with the smaller one that we did not like was the fishing line would get around the front hook on some of the cast and we would just have to bring it back in and pull the line off. Because the lure would just spin in a circle. Would like to find a way to fix this, But i will still be buying the lure. Also the smaller lure is kinda hard to cast because it does not have much weight to get it out far. But we dropped line size and went to a ultra light rod and real and it fixed that problem. The two rivers we used this on was the White river in Arkansas and the roaring rivers in Missouri. Many people around us was asking what we was using because of the amount of fish that we was catching. We showed them, and told them were to buy them at. all in all, This was a awesome lure for trout and i cant want to go out again and see what we can get. I would recommend this for everyone to buy and try.

5 Anonymous
First time ever using this lure caught around 10 bass. It was crazy. I had the bass color and they just couldnt resist. Every 5 casts i had a fish. It goes pretty shallow and dodge underwater obstacles like sticks or tires. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great shallow lure!

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.

These are probably the best set of lures to use whether you are fishing for nice perch or bass in most fast flowing rivers anywhere!

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.

5 Triton Man
As the name implies, I 've had some really good success with this lure by letting it settle to the bottom and then rippin' it and letting it fall to near the bottom before rippin' it again. I 've caught muskie, pike, walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass on it. The walleye and smallmouth seem to like it the best. I have n't narrowed it down to one color either, mostly just the retrieve method. They are worth trying.

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 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.

I love this rod for a rod under a 100 bucks in the 70 dollar range. Its got great action been throwing med size crankbait. Great square bill rod good action have n't cought any monsters but lot's of 1 to 2 and half pound bass. Very acrute when throwing. I got some higher end set ups. But got this pared with a abu garcia black max reel with 10 pound florocarbon line. I got a 150 in reel rod and line and I pick it up as much as my 350 to 450 dollar set ups and will hang with them.

Needed a little heavier crankbait rod and this thing delivered. I have a Dobyns Colt with the same specs and this one is noticeablely heavier. Threw a lipless just to feel it out in terms of deeper divers and this actually held up. Definitely woth it

5 SkeeterBob
Super sensitive, perfect backbone and flex for chatterbaits, crankbaits, and lures with trebles.

5 MattySlimz
Have n't even tested this rod out yet, but plan on an update. I have it paired on an Daiwa Millionaire 250S with 14lb. mono. I plan on doing a mix of Fresh/Brackish/Salt water fishing for schoolie Stripers, Lake Largemouth, and beach trips for possible Spotted Sea Trout, under slot Red Drum etc. I 've never owned an baitcaster style setup so looking forward to this being a good setup, the specs look great!

All types of panfish will go after this bait. Any color seems to work well in the spring but black seems to work the best in the summer. Light line and a# 6 hook is all youneed.

I bought the Mag Heavy to use it as a jig/frog/punching rod. BUT it has now replaced my existing med and medhvy rods. The sensitivity is significantly better than I expected.

This rod sensitivity is great. The the action is great for jig fishing. I also love the Cork and the whole look of the rod. I give it a five- star rating.

Colors in this series are n't even on the manufacturers web site. Triple grip hooks coupled with new colors makes this a super series and a consistent producer.

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!!

5 J
Good value for the money, especially if you find it on sale. Excellent choice to round out your gear with both hard and soft bait.

Rat- L- Trap is the best lipless crankbait on the market that money can buy! The Rat- L- Trap comes in several different models and sizes to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt waters. With a huge assortment of color variations, it will accommodate any angler's need for any situation. As a tournament angler myself, this is my go to bait and is always tied on for every tournament I fish. 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.

5 FLBassPaddler
Not a single fishing trip goes by without me having a Rat- L- Trap tied on. Hands down the best `` Search '' bait there is!

Frequently Asked Questions For Shallow Crankbaits

A shallow crankbait is a type of fishing lure designed to mimic the movement of baitfish in shallow waters. These lures are typically used for targeting species like bass and pike in areas with limited depth. They are effective in covering water quickly and can be retrieved at various speeds to provoke strikes from fish.

When selecting a shallow crankbait, consider features such as the shape, diving depth, and color patterns. The shape can affect the lure's action and how it interacts with the water, while the diving depth is crucial for targeting specific fish habitats. Additionally, vibrant color patterns can enhance visibility and attract fish in different water conditions.

Shallow crankbaits are typically made from durable materials such as plastic or wood, which influence their buoyancy and action in the water. Plastic lures are often lighter and can be molded into various shapes, while wooden lures may offer a more traditional feel and unique swimming action. The choice of material can affect the lure's performance and longevity.

Shallow crankbaits are most effective in warm weather and during the spring and summer months when fish are actively feeding in shallow waters. They work well in areas with submerged vegetation, rocky structures, or around docks where fish tend to hide. Additionally, they can be used successfully in both freshwater and saltwater environments depending on the target species.

Shallow crankbaits differ from other types primarily in their diving depth and design. While deep-diving crankbaits are intended for deeper water, shallow crankbaits are designed to stay near the surface or just below it. This makes them ideal for targeting fish in shallow habitats, whereas other crankbaits may be better suited for deeper structures.
