Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring Nickel/Neon Blue Back – 1-Ounce Lure (4751-100-0306)

Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring Nickel/Neon Blue Back

The Crippled Herring is designed to imitate distressed bait fish, delivering a natural look and action that can appeal to predatory fish in both fresh and saltwater environments. The lure aims to convey a sense of struggle through subtle movement and wake, a common predator cue across seasons.

Pattern and finish pair a chrome nickel body with a neon blue back, enhanced by chartreuse and blue accents to boost visibility in stained water, clear water, and low light. The compact profile supports versatile casting and smooth tracking from shore or boat.

Weight notes vary by catalog, but this lure is typically balanced for easy casting and controlled retrieves, commonly around half an ounce. The combination of materials and careful craftsmanship contributes to a reliable option anglers reach for again and again.

Key features

• Chartreuse and Blue palette for high visibility

How to use for different conditions

Different retrieves can elicit varied responses depending on water clarity and fish mood. When in doubt, start with a steady, moderate pace, then try quick hops or long pauses to tempt curious predators.

• Cast and retrieve along weed lines and drop offs
• Troll at slow to moderate speeds along structure
• Jig and pop retrieves around pilings or rocks
• Long, steady sweeps in clear water to maximize silhouette

Real life scenarios

Anglers report effective results during early morning and late afternoon sessions, when lighting makes the lure finish catch the eye. It shines near structures such as docks and weed beds where predators linger.
