Betts Exxtra Bait 1.5" Split 5ct Catalpa Black

The Betts Exxtra Bait 1.5" Split in Catalpa Black is a hand-poured crappie lure built for anglers who want proven quality without the premium price tag. Each 5-count pack gives you five ready-to-fish baits with the details that matter: custom-decorated finishes, gold hooks, and oversized painted eyes designed to catch crappie attention. The original-style head features a barb to keep the lure secure on the hook so you stay rigged up between casts, not re-rigging on the water.

What sets the Exxtra Bait apart is the thoughtful engineering in a simple package. The attached spinner adds flash and vibration that work in shallow structure and weeds where crappie hunt. Hand-painted details—including that signature dot—give each bait a custom look that competes with far pricier offerings. Whether you're working a brush pile, fallen timber, or dock posts, these are the kind of baits that produce consistently without leaving your wallet light.

Catalpa Black is a versatile choice for stained to dark water conditions and shaded cover, making it a reliable call across seasons and regions. Stock a few packs and you'll have dependable crappie medicine ready whenever the bite turns on.
