Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 2.25" Red Crawdad

The Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 2.25" Red Crawdad is a compact balsa crankbait built to reach your target depth fast and stay hunting in the strike zone. Designed for anglers who want a small-profile bait that dives hard and covers water efficiently, this lure combines proven DT® dive-to-depth engineering with a crawdad color pattern that triggers strikes in freshwater systems where crayfish are a natural forage base.

Built from premium balsa wood, the Tiny features internal weight placement and a thin-profile tail design that generates the distinctive side-to-side swimming action only quality balsa crankbaits deliver. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip does the work of getting the bait down to its preset depth quickly, while the nose-down resting position means the instant your cast lands, the Tiny is already descending into the zone where feeding fish are holding. Hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships, every lure swims true out of the box—no tweaking required.

At 2.25 inches and 5/16 ounce, the Tiny casts clean and tracks straight, making it a solid choice for working shallow to mid-depth structure, fallen timber, weed edges, and transition zones. The internal baritone rattle adds acoustic appeal without excessive commotion, and the Red Crawdad finish pairs that crayfish silhouette with 3D holographic eyes for realism and visibility. VMC® black nickel hooks are ready to set.
