Overview
Built for anglers targeting pressured predators, this diving crankbait is meant to present a baitfish profile with a more restrained action than many hard-thumping alternatives. Its weight transfer system and soft tungsten ball are intended to support a subtle presentation, which can be useful when fish are reluctant to commit. With a listed diving range of 10–14 feet, it fits situations where covering mid-depth water and triggering bites from finicky fish are the goal. The two premium Gamakatsu #3 treble hooks round out a design aimed at serious fishing applications, including tournament use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for a 10-14 ft running depth, so it’s best suited to that zone rather than shallow-water presentations.
- At 2.36" and 5/8 oz, it’s a compact crankbait that may require a more deliberate retrieve to keep its intended action and depth profile.
- The baitfish profile and subtle weight-transfer presentation are geared toward pressured fish, which can be effective but may be less aggressive than louder, more forceful options.
- Equipped with two premium Gamakatsu #3 treble hooks, so anglers should consider hook management and fish handling when fishing around cover or in close quarters.
