Field Notes

A hard-bodied diving crankbait designed to run straight and far right out of the package. Use it for covering water and targeting fish holding on structure, especially when you want a consistent wobbling retrieve without tuning. The long bill suggests it is meant to dive and deflect off cover.

Pros

  • Balanced design casts well and runs true
  • Hard bait durability with wooden-bait style action
  • Good for covering water quickly

Cons

  • Can be too aggressive in very shallow water
  • Treble hooks and bill make it snag-prone around heavy cover
