Black Label Badger Balsa Crankbait – Mid-Depth All-Purpose Performer

The Black Label Badger Balsa Crankbait was designed to fill the gap between shallow and deep cranking, delivering a smaller-profile, mid-depth bait with balanced performance that excels year-round. Built with a durable polymer lexan lip and thru-lip line tie , the Badger covers water efficiently in the 6–7 foot range , and can reach slightly deeper when fished on lighter line. When developing the Badger, Cliff Pace set out to create a true “middle-of-the-road” crankbait —moderate in size, vibration, and tail kick. The result is a versatile balsa bait that performs across a wide range of conditions and cover types, including rock, wood, grass edges, clay banks, and gravel . Its semi-fast vibration makes it effective in both cooler and warmer water temperatures , while its compact profile shines in clear to lightly stained water . Handcrafted from premium balsa wood and finished using Black Label’s meticulous 45-step build process , the Badger is equipped with two black nickel Mustad TG76 treble hooks for reliable hookups. This bait was designed to consistently produce when other crankbaits fall short in the mid-depth zone. “The Black Label Badger is a great bait for covering all types of cover. It has a smaller shape and a semi-fast vibration which makes it effective in cooler as well as warmer water temps. If you're looking for a smaller-profile, mid-depth handmade balsa bait that can be fished year-round, the Black Label Badger is the answer.” — Cliff Pace Specifications: Weight: 3/8 oz Length: 2 1/8″ Running Depth: 6–7 ft Each bait is handcrafted and hand-painted, so slight color variations may occur.
