Field Notes

A deep-diving tight-action crankbait for fishing steeper banks, laydowns, brush piles, stumps, timber, points, ledges, shell beds, and other offshore structure. It excels when you want a bait that deflects well off wood and rock and can back out of cover with its reverse-float design.

Pros

  • Tight action is effective in colder water and around pressured fish
  • Coffin bill and body design help it deflect off wood and rock
  • Reverse-float behavior helps it back out of cover

Cons

  • Only runs 10 to 12 feet, so it is not ideal for very deep water
  • Balsa construction can be less durable than hard plastic in heavy abuse
