Reef Runner 600 Series Deep Little Ripper 4-9/16-Inch Jerkbait Lure - USA Handcrafted

Overview

The Reef Runner 600 Series Deep Little Ripper is a rattling minnow imitator designed for anglers who want depth, action, and versatility in a single lure. Handcrafted in the USA, this lure combines a curved body with a rounded V-bill to produce a distinctive, wide-darting swim that stays in the strike zone longer and invites decisive follows and bites.

Each Deep Little Ripper brings a performance-focused design to the water: a deeper dive than its Little Ripper sibling, a robust wobble that helps the lure stand out in crowded or stained water, and near-neutral buoyancy that supports controlled depth during a pause or slow retrieve. The lure is finished with Reef Runner's premium high gloss chip-proof coating, engineered to resist chipping and maintain vivid color and shine under sun and spray.

Action and Anatomy

Designed as a jerkbait, the Deep Little Ripper features a 4" body and a 1 11/16" diving bill, yielding a total length of 6 3/16". The curved body and V-bill work together to deliver a darting, wider, deeper swim that remains productive through varying retrieve speeds.

• Rattling minnow profile adds an audible cue that can attract strikes in murky water.
• Incredibly wide wobble helps the lure stay deeper and more conspicuous than typical minnows.
• Near-neutral buoyancy allows controlled depth with pauses and varied retrieves.
• 4" body length, 1 11/16" bill, total 6 3/16" for fish-friendly proportions.

Premium Craft and Finish

Every Deep Little Ripper in the 600 Series is crafted with attention to detail and hand tested to ensure consistency. The high gloss chip-proof finish is designed to endure frequent casting, harsh sun, and saltwater exposure while preserving color and flash that draw attention in the water.

Real-World Use

Ideal for deep-water trolling or casting along structure, weed edges, and drop-offs, this lure is built to tempt predatory fish across a range of conditions. Its action is well-suited for covering water quickly and provoking aggressive strikes from larger predators.

• Trolling at steady or varied speeds to maximize the darting action and depth range.
• Casting into current seams or around submerged structure with pauses to let the lure suspend briefly.
• Pairing with appropriate line and leader setups to optimize dive depth and action.
