Description

Built specifically for summertime offshore cranking , the Black Label 300 Proof Balsa Crankbait is designed to reach depth quickly while maintaining a more subtle action and vibration than most crankbaits in its class. Featuring a custom-cut lexan spoonbill , the 300 Proof delivers excellent castability and fast-diving performance without pulling excessively hard, allowing anglers to fish deep water comfortably all day long. The lightweight balsa body provides exceptional buoyancy, enabling the bait to quickly rise and back out of cover after contact. This fast flotation helps reduce hang-ups when targeting offshore structure such as points, ledges, brush piles, shell beds, rockpiles, and channel drops . An old-school lead tuning button molded into the lip ensures the 300 Proof stays properly tuned, even with its larger diving bill—maintaining consistent tracking and performance cast after cast. When bass move offshore and demand a more refined presentation, the Black Label 300 Proof delivers depth, control, and reliability where it matters most.

  • Subtle action and vibration for pressured offshore bass
  • Fast flotation helps it back out of cover
