3/4 oz Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket
Features:
- KEY SPECS: Finally, a Thunder Cricket bladed jig with a tungsten head for added castability and superior vibration. The super-dense tungsten head of this Thunder Cricket creates a heavier lure in a smaller package. The Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket casts exceptionally well for a smaller-profile lure, even in windy conditions, and the dense head allows for maximum fish-attracting vibration.
- SUPERIOR ACTION: Strike King’s Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket features a hand-tied skirt that wiggles and dances like no other. Paired with the tight-vibration of the blade, the skirt imparts an movement that is hard for fish to ignore, resulting in strong reaction strikes.
- VERSATILITY ON THE WATER: The Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket is an exceptional choice around brush and vegetation. Its thin profile allows it to swim through standing grass well, and the pump of the blade is powerful enough to lure feeding fish out of cover to strike. It can be burned at a fast rate to cover shallow water quickly or can be “slow-rolled” near deeper rock and brush piles, attracting fish as it flutters down.
- READY FOR YOUR FAVORITE TRAILER: the exceptional trailer keeper of Strike King’s Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket holds soft-plastics like no other, keeping your trailer firmly in place through brutal strikes, hard-fighting fish and hours upon hours of casts. Gone are the days of missing a hookset or ruining the perfect cast because a plastic trailer has slipped down the hook shank.
- Strike King is pleased to offer the Tour Grade Tungsten Thunder Cricket in 14 vivid colors to mimic the natural forage of your favorite fish. It is available for in 3/8 and 1/2 ounce for long-distance casting and fishing deeper structure.
