Rebel Bighopper Ultralight Waking Crankbait – Matte Rusty Brown 1.75in

The Rebel Bighopper Ultralight Waking Crankbait is a 1 3/4 inch grasshopper imitating lure designed for versatile action on the water. Crafted for anglers who appreciate compact size and lifelike detail, this lure blends subtle weight with a realistic silhouette to tempt curious gamefish.

Versatile topwater and waking crankbait action

Use as a topwater lure or as a wake-style crankbait by twitching on the surface. The realistic grasshopper design glides and then pauses, prompting a strike from lurking bass or panfish during the warmer months.

• Ultra-light 1 3/4 inch profile fits tight casting windows and shoreline cover.
• Topwater wake or surface pause yields a natural grasshopper vibe in calm or choppy water.

Realistic finish and color

The matte rusty brown finish and super-realistic paint mimic a real grasshopper on screen-accurate patterns, helping the lure blend into natural surroundings and catch the eye of curious fish.

• Durable finishes resist sun fade and hold contrast in bright light.
• Grasshopper design enhances imitational appeal when fish are selective.

Where and how to fish

Best across summer and fall when bass, trout, and other species feed near shoreline structure, dam tailraces, reservoirs, and lakes. Its compact size makes it easy to cast near cover and weeds.

• Dam tailraces and reservoir tailwater: straight medium retrieves work well for trout.
• Lakes and ponds: topwater twitches generate suspenseful surface action.

Retrieval tips

Experiment with cadence to mimic a struggling insect. A steady topwater twitch brings the bite, while a longer pause can entice a strike from lurking predators.

As with any lure, success depends on timing, water conditions, and presentation. Try different angles and speeds to suit the day.
