Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz 2-4ft Sexy Shad 2.0

The Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz shallow crankbait is a downsized workhorse for anglers targeting bass in weedy shallows, grass lines, and light cover. This compact hard bait delivers the proven design of Strike King's ICAST award-winning original Chick Magnet in a lighter package that casts easily and reaches depths of 2–4 feet, making it ideal for spring spawning areas, creek channels, and shallow flats where bigger lures might spook fish. The flat-sided body design creates a tight, water-displacing wobble that mimics baitfish movement without excess commotion—exactly what cautious shallow-water bass want to eat.

The circuit-board bill is engineered to produce that signature action while maintaining stable tracking, so you're not fighting the lure every cast. At 1/4 ounce, the Chick Magnet Jr is light enough to throw on standard spinning or casting gear without fatigue, yet heavy enough to cast a respectable distance. The Sexy Shad 2.0 finish—a natural, scaled pattern—imitates the forage these shallow zones actually hold, giving you confidence that your bait choice matches the menu.

Whether you're working pre-spawn shallows in early season, punching sparse grass in midsummer, or fishing clear water where finesse matters, this crankbait rewards precise presentation and steady retrieves. It's the kind of lure that earns a permanent spot in your tackle box.
