Can be used for any fish in any season  The Crippled Herring is the most versatile lure you'll ever use. It is natural, both in appearance and in action, and can be used worldwide, everyday of the year, for all game fish, in fresh or saltwater. It is programmed to take advantage of the strong, natural predator instinct common to all game fish. All distressed bait fish actions (stunned, struggling, or dying) have been engineered into this lure.
The Crippled Herring is the most versatile lure you'll ever use. It can be vertically jigged, cast and retrieved and even trolled in both fresh and saltwater alike. Its high-action design takes advantage of the strong predator instinct programmed into game fish. For the greatest success, maximize action by choosing the smallest size that fits your needs. In combination with a fish finder, the bait can be targeting precisely in vertical jigging applications. Fish the Crippled Herring vertically, with a slow, long upward motion of the rod tip followed by a fast drop of the tip. The lure will most often be taken on the downward fall. Pay attention for taps and hesitations on the fall and set the hook when they happen. In cold water conditions, pause at the bottom of the drop for up to three seconds to connect with lethargic fish.
