Rebel Lures Crickhopper Cricket/Grasshopper Crankbait Fishing Lure, 1 1/2 Inch, 1/4 Ounce

One of the best lures I have ever used. I have used this design, size, and color for almost 30 years and it just plain catches fish. They only last about a year or two because fish will wear the paint off of it!

I've caught alot of fish with this lure

From the moment I cast this one (summer hopper) into the water the fish are just going nuts over it. Fish like to eat bugs and things that fall from trees or docks. If there's a bream or small bass with a few feet of where this thing his the water BOOM I've got a fish hooked. The very first time I cast it I caught a Bluegill that was just over 2 1/4 pounds along a dock. Granted all the others I've caught have been nothing like that monster but when I'm ultra light fishing under trees and along docks the thing catches fish like crazy. I got several others in the lineup and only the brownish crayfish has the same appeal . I can't recommend this thing enough at its ability to mimic a bug that just fell in the water and is in "oh crap what do I do now? Let me trying swimming to shore, no maybe turn around, no maybe......" mode. Most times within a couple of feet of where it hit I'm working the drag and reeling in the next one if there's one there. The hooks are very sharp, making it better on the fish and easier to remove. I'm bank fishing in stained water ponds using an Ugly Stik 5' ultra light with Lews Laser Lite spinning reel and 6# mono line. This lure is just plain fun to use and, for me, catches fish no matter the time of day . I can cast it short, long , slingshot or skip and they all get results. Edit: Caught numbers 9 (a bluegill) and 10 (1.5 pound bass) on this one yesterday . My granddaughter (6) caught her first fish ever on a Summer Hopper yesterday as well . My youngest daughter (15) has caught several bluegill and smaller bass with her summer hopper as well .

Good for river fishing

You can catch ANYTHING with these lures. And here's what I've caught, and how. 1) Bass - Cast as far as you can. Let it sit there a few moments. Take out most (but not all) of the slack. Whip your rod to the side one time. This causes the crickhopper to do a quick jerk. Wait a few more moments. Whip it again. If you don't have the sucker yet, it's time to up the ante. Keeping your rod almost straight up, slowly reel in until your line that's landed on the water is now out of the water. At this point, your crickhopper will be doing an irresistible waddle on the surface. It takes a little bit of practice, but you want to reel it as fast as you can without making it dive, but not too slow, or you won't get that enticing ripple behind it. The black color of this particular model is great for clear days with clear water. It becomes a black-on-blue sky target for those bass. 2) Perch / Crappie / etc - Cast it far. Reel it so that it dives, but stop every now and then and let it surface. You'll get one of those suckers real quick. 3) Bullfrogs - Hey, I said ANYTHING, didn't I? Find you a bull frog on the bank. Cast this crickhopper onto the bank a little ways away. Reel in the slack and make the crickhopper jitter. With the fish, you can catch and release. Those frogs go after this, and the only way you'd be able to let them go is if you cut their tongues. The treble hooks mess them up good. I did it a few time by accident casting near the bank and getting caught on a root. Felt terrible everytime.

A universal lure for many conditions.

Rebel Lures Crickhopper Cricket/Grasshopper Crankbait Fishing Lure, 1 1/2 Inch, 1/4 Ounce - I have this in a few different color patterns. Fire tiger and brown cricket seems to work best for me in small ponds and lakes. I have one tied on and ready to go almost every fishing trip I take. If I see fish breaking the surface to eat bugs I throw this at them ASAP! I fish it mostly like a top water. Slow slight rod twitches. Strikes come on 3 - 5 second pauses most of the time. Sometimes pretty savage strikes as soon as you start to move it again after a pause. Super fun!

I recently picked up the Rebel Lures Crickhopper Cricket/Grasshopper Crankbait, and it's been a pleasant surprise. I'm not a pro angler or anything—just like to fish on weekends. This lure looks just like a real grasshopper, and the fish in my local pond seem to love it. It's easy to cast and has a nice action in the water. I've caught a few bass and even some panfish with it. The size is just right at 1 1/2 inches and 1/4 ounce—not too big or too small. If you're looking for a fun lure to add to your tackle box without breaking the bank, I'd recommend giving this one a try!
