Description

The Crippled P has that unmistakable churning action of a classic single rear prop bait. Match the forage with our beautiful hand painted patterns, this bait is an ideal imitation of a wounded baitfish sputtering across the surface. Bait sits tail down when not in motion causing that erratic action and side to side jumping motion when twitched. Bait has extremely good hook up ratio due to this design. This bait casts extremely well and is deadly when varying up the rate of retrieve. 3 1/2" 1/2 OZ.

Field Notes

This is a surface prop bait designed to churn and sputter like a wounded baitfish. It works best with a steady retrieve mixed with pauses and twitches to trigger the side-to-side jump and erratic action. Use it around calm to lightly rippled water when fish are feeding near the surface.

Pros

  • Strong surface churning action
  • Excellent casting distance
  • Good hookup ratio

Cons

  • Most effective only on the surface
  • Can be less effective in heavy chop
