Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz 2-4ft Natural Bream

The Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz shallow crankbait is a downsized, hard-working lure built for anglers targeting bream and other panfish in shallow water. This flat-sided crankbait displaces water with a tight, deliberate wobble designed to trigger bites in the 2–4 foot depth range. It's a compact option when you need finesse presentation without sacrificing the erratic action that gets fish to commit.

Strike King engineered the Chick Magnet Jr with a circuit-board bill that fine-tunes its dive curve and side-to-side movement. The flat-sided profile is the key here—it generates more water displacement than a traditional rounded body, creating vibration and visibility that panfish find hard to ignore. At 1/4 ounce, this lure casts easily on light spinning tackle and works shallow flats, grass edges, and dock pilings where bream hang out.

The Chick Magnet Jr carries the pedigree of Strike King's award-winning Chick Magnet platform, proven in tournaments and on home waters alike. If you've had success with Strike King's full-size Chick Magnet but need a lure that tracks shallower or matches smaller forage, the Jr delivers the same design philosophy in a downsized, more versatile package. Natural Bream finish provides a realistic profile that works across seasons and water clarity.
