Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz 2-4ft Green Gizzard Shad

The Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz shallow crankbait brings a proven tournament lure design down to a size that works in tight quarters and targets smaller bass. This downsized version of Strike King's ICAST award-winning original uses a flat-sided body to displace water and generate the kind of tight, erratic wobble that triggers reactive strikes. At a quarter ounce, it's an ideal choice for finesse presentations and shallow structure where a smaller profile makes the difference.

Built for shallow water fishing, the Chick Magnet Jr reaches depths of 2 to 4 feet depending on line class and retrieve speed—making it a go-to option for laydowns, grass lines, docks, and stump fields during prespawn and early summer periods. The flat-sided design isn't just about looks; it displaces water efficiently, creating vibration that calls fish from a distance while that controlled wobble won't spook wary shallow-water bass. The Green Gizzard Shad finish matches natural forage in most freshwater systems and works equally well in clear and stained water.

Whether you're fishing small ponds, creek channels, or the shallows of larger lakes, the Chick Magnet Jr delivers the action and size profile that panicked baitfish won't. This is a crankbait that earns its place in your tackle box rotation—compact, versatile, and built on the heritage of a lure that's already proven itself in competition and the field.
