Crickhopper

The Rebel Crickhopper is a versatile ultralight lure that catches fish like crazy. This super-realistic grasshopper imitation floats, so it can be fished as a topwater bait to draw explosive strikes. Plus, thanks to its large, rounded lip, it's also extremely effective as a miniature crankbait. On many casts, this bait will serve both purposes—you can cast it near cover, let it sit, and, after a few twitches, start cranking. The bill will drive the bait down to about 3 feet and impart a tight wiggling action during the retrieve. If fish are nearby, and they didn't hit it on top, there's a good chance they'll hit it subsurface! Summer and fall bass and panfish can't resist this bait's lifelike profile and realistic finish, no matter how you fish it. For trout, the crankbait mode will be most effective—a straight, steady, medium-paced retrieve will get their attention in tailraces, lakes, and ponds. If you're an angler who loves using ultralight spinning gear to target feisty bluegill, bass, trout, and other species, a Rebel Crickhopper is the lure for you.
