This crankbait performs exactly as described. The flicker action when jerked is very realistic and attracts fish in deep water. I’ve used it in both clear and murky conditions and it’s been effective.
Charles Parr –
Great depth and action. It dives to 13 feet and moves naturally in the water. The 1/2 oz weight is perfect for medium-sized bass and trout. A reliable choice for deep-water fishing.

I’ve tried several crankbaits, but the Flicker Shad stands out. The flicker action when pulled makes fish take it easily. Works well in late afternoon when fish are active.
