Rebel Crickhopper Ultralight Waking Crankbait - 1.5-Inch Grasshopper Lure for Bass and Trout

Meet the Rebel Crickhopper Ultralight Waking Crankbait

The Rebel Crickhopper is a compact, 1.5 inch waking crankbait designed to imitate a grasshopper skimming the surface. Its small profile pairs with a realistic paint job to deliver subtle, natural movement that catches the eye in a variety of water conditions. This lure blends two classic approaches in one versatile package, making it a practical option for anglers seeking responsive topwater action or a dependable crankbait cadence.

Why it stands out

• Ultralight design that excels in light tackle setups, allowing for delicate wakes and long casting accuracy
• Two in one versatility as a topwater lure and a traditional crankbait for flexible fishing style
• Realistic grasshopper silhouette paired with lifelike paint to mimic a drowning insect when twitched on the surface
• High fidelity finishes that closely resemble a real grasshopper, enhancing visual cues under water

Best uses and target species

• Summer and fall bass fishing benefit from the wake and pause action that mimics an easy meal on the surface
• Trout anglers can deploy a straight medium retrieve in dam tailraces, reservoirs, and lakes for steady retrieves
• Useful for panfish and other gamefish that respond to surface or near surface presentations

Practical tips for retrieval and presentation

• Start with a gentle wake on the surface, then twitch to imitate a struggling insect
• When targeting trout or bass, vary speed and cadence to locate the right rhythm for the day

The Crickhopper combines a compact profile with convincing finish work, offering a believable insect mimic without demanding specialized techniques. While results can vary with water conditions and fish mood, many anglers find that this lure provides a distinct option for a surface oriented or mid depth cadence that pairs well with regional bodies of water.
