Strike King Chick Magnet Jr 1/4oz 2-4ft Tomato Soup

The Strike King Chick Magnet Jr is a downsized shallow crankbait built for anglers targeting bass in tight cover and clear water. This 1/4-ounce hard bait features a flat-sided design that creates a distinctive tight wobble as it moves through the water, displacing enough water to trigger strikes without the commotion of deeper, bulkier lures. The Tomato Soup color mimics natural forage and works well in a range of light conditions, making it a go-to choice for sight-fishing and shallow structure work.

Rigged with a circuit-board bill, the Chick Magnet Jr dives to 2–4 feet, keeping it in the strike zone of shallow flats, grass beds, and dock pilings without diving so deep that you lose sensitivity or bottom-hanging risk. It's a refined take on Strike King's award-winning Chick Magnet platform, distilled into a size and weight that excels when bass are keyed on smaller baitfish or when light line and finesse presentations pay off.

This crankbait rewards steady retrieves and occasional pauses, and its compact profile makes it easy to cast accurately into confined spaces. Whether you're fishing early morning, overcast days, or clear lakes where understated action outfishes flashier offerings, the Chick Magnet Jr delivers proven shallow-water performance in a package that doesn't require heavy gear or aggressive technique.
