Yum Christie Critter 4.5" 8ct Watermelon Red Flake

The Yum Christie Critter 4.5" creature bait is purpose-built for the flipping, pitching, and casting techniques that put bass in the boat. Designed in collaboration with pro angler Jason Christie, this soft plastic lure combines multiple moving appendages with a compact profile that works equally well on a Texas rig or Carolina rig setup. The Watermelon Red Flake color option delivers visibility in a range of water conditions while maintaining a natural forage profile.

What sets the Christie Critter apart is its articulated design. The top swimming arms attach at both the top and bottom of the bait, but the bottom connection point is intentionally loose, allowing you to pull the arm free if you want to dial up the swimming action. This flexibility means you can adjust the bait's behavior to match what the fish are responding to on any given day—whether that's subtle, controlled movement or aggressive, high-displacement action.

The double curltails work in tandem with the large flappers to push serious water and create vibration that nearby bass can detect and home in on. In shallow cover, heavy vegetation, or around structure where bass hold tight, this creature bait's profile and motion trigger reactions from both aggressive feeders and lethargic fish. Eight baits per pack gives you enough to work an area thoroughly or tie on a fresh one as they get chewed up.
