Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this lipless crankbait showcases a translucent amber and orange body with a dark, textured pattern mimicking the natural shading of a crawfish. At a length of 3" (7.5 cm), the specimen 16059 remains in 5/5 condition, featuring two sharp silver-toned treble hooks and a secure split ring on the top ridge. Bill Lewis crafted this USA-made classic with a flat-headed design specifically to sink quickly, allowing anglers to cover deep structure effectively. The interior houses signature extra-loud rattles designed to work alongside its tight wobbling action to provoke strikes through sound, a feature well-regarded for fishing in stained or dirty water. Its sides offer a gold-flecked metallic sheen paired with dark vertical markings, providing a look that transitions well from clear to murky conditions. This model is suited for diverse techniques, from long-distance casting to vertical jigging for wintering fish such as bass, pike, or lake trout.
