Heddon Tiny Torpedo 1/4 Crawfish

The Heddon Tiny Torpedo 1/4 Crawfish is a compact topwater hard bait built for bass that respond to smaller profiles and realistic crawfish imitations. This lure cuts through noise on busy water and works equally well in shallow cover, around structure, or on open flats where largemouth and smallmouth hunt crawdads. At 1/4 ounce, it casts cleanly on light to medium tackle and won't exhaust you during a long day of working shallow water or vegetation.

Topwater baits demand precision and confidence—you need a lure that lands where you aim, displaces just enough water to call fish from cover, and looks natural under the rod tip. The Tiny Torpedo's proven crawfish profile and hard-body construction deliver on all three fronts. It's the kind of bait that works in prespawn shallows, summer grassbeds, and fall crawdad migrations when bass actively hunt the bottom without burying themselves in deep cover.

Whether you're a smallmouth specialist working rocky banks or a largemouth angler hunting shallow lake margins, the Tiny Torpedo earns its spot in your tackle box. It's small enough to match the natural forage, durable enough to handle repeated casting and fish contact, and proven enough that bass trust it when they're feeding shallow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Tiny Torpedo 1/4 Crawfish and how far will it cast?

The lure weighs 1/4 ounce, making it ideal for light to medium rods and casting in shallow water. It casts far enough to reach cover and structure without excessive effort across a full day of fishing.

Will this work for both largemouth and smallmouth bass?

Yes. The Tiny Torpedo is built to appeal to both largemouth and smallmouth bass, particularly in shallow water where they actively hunt crawfish and other bottom forage.

When should I throw a crawfish-pattern topwater lure?

Topwater crawfish baits like the Tiny Torpedo work best in shallow water during prespawn and fall feeding periods, around grass and vegetation, and over structure where bass actively hunt. Early morning and evening often produce best results, though overcast days can extend topwater opportunities throughout the day.
