Description

If you're a super shallow crankbait nut like me, your collection should include the DC 1. This bait is a must when the bass get shallow and into cover. The Timber Tiger is the 4-Wheel drive of crankbaits and is great for super shallow cover cranking. The DC 1 cranks through grass and laydowns like a champ with its snag resistant timber guard design. It also has a single ticker which has just enough knock to get the attention of bass while the computer designed wall construction gives it maximum vibration. If you're familiar with wide aggressive wobbling action of the Mann's Baby 1-, this bait has a more subtle action and is a sneaky bait to throw around pressured fish. Comes with one black and one red VMC red #6 sharp EWG trebles.

Field Notes

Use this shallow crankbait around bass holding in very skinny water, especially over grass and around laydowns. It is designed for cover cranking and pressured fish, with a snag-resistant body and a subtler wobble than wider-action shallow cranks.

Pros

  • Great for super shallow cover
  • Snag-resistant timber guard design
  • Subtle wobble can help on pressured fish

Cons

  • Limited to very shallow running situations
  • Not ideal when fish are deep or inactive
