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.

These are great lures. You go top water, it will go just below top water UI to 3 feet or so depending on reel speed... the action is the rule is great.. Bass, sunnies, crappie, pickerel, they all love this bait... it is my go to and it has never failed me... worth every dollar

5 Creek A.
one of the most fun lures to use in creeks in the summertime, the fish will smash it off the top of the water, all different species

5 FisherGuy75
When the grasshoppers start getting big in the summer in the south you can be sure to catch some fish on these! You can drop them on the surface and twitch them for top- water bites or reel them slow or fast for aggressive shallow water bites. Catches bass, bluegill, crappie, etc...

5 Bob
The Rebel Crickhopper is top choice to use for Bluegill Fishing. Whenever the lure hits the water, smaller panfish and sometimes large mouth bass will attack. If one color does not seem to be getting many hits, simply change over to a different one, move around, and enjoy another day of fishing! Lures work great even with just a simple Zebco 33 and some 4- 6# line.

This is my go to lure for trout fishing in lakes. I have used this lure in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona with outstanding success. I start with it and at the end of day, I usually finish with it. Also have used it to catch warm water fish in Arizona, Utah and Texas. Outstanding Lure!!!!!!!!!

4 Metallion
I use this on my UL and Light rods, fishing pods and creeks, and I have caught quite a few bass, perch and bluegills. This lure has nice action and is easy to cast. The only downside is that sometimes the front treble hooks snag in the line when casting and I have to reel it in and fix it. I have the brown crawfish color, which I got as part of the Rebel 4 pack of lures.

Got this about 3 weeks ago and amazing results first time out!!

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 Jebmlb1
This lure was exactly what I was looking for, small in size but attracts fish.

5 Huntinfool69
Bought this item last month and it did n't disappoint. Countdown depth 1 ft per second as advertised and controlled depth with retrieve. Landed 2 rainbows over 18 '' in an hour of casting the river...

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 Greg
Its 2012 and i 've had no luck catching any fish all season so far. I was shopping in Dick's looking for new line and maybe a new lure. I spotted this one and thought it looked promising. My fishing buddy had also said this was his favorite lure. I bought the `` Grasshopper '' looking one and tossed it in the water. Within seconds i got a fish on the hook. It was a sunfish but i was supprised at how fast the lure was attacked. I took the fish off the line and released it and threw the line back in the water and started to reel in slow. BOOM a nice sized bass comes up to the surface and chomps down the lure. I reel him in and release. This kept happening all night. I caught 8 fish in 1hour 30mins. This is definately one of my favorite lures now. If you want fish to go nuts over your lure, for the price, you cant go wrong with this one.

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.

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.
