Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bladed swim jig used for in bass fishing?

A bladed swim jig combines the casting and hookup quality of a jig with the vibration and flash of a blade lure. The Thunder Cricket works as both a search bait for covering water and a targeted presentation around cover, shallow flats, and structure. The blade creates vibration and flash that appeals to bass in various light and water conditions.

Is the 3/8 oz weight suitable for shallow water fishing?

Yes, the 3/8 oz Thunder Cricket is versatile enough for shallow water work and can also reach moderate depths. The weight and blade design let you fish it effectively at different speeds and in different zones—speed it up in shallower areas or slow it down as you work deeper structure.
