The natural crawdad shape of the Gambler Cricket attracts the fish - especially when the bite is tough and the water is clear. This little bug style craw is deadly as a trailer for small jigs, by itself on a splitshot rig, or pitched into bushes. As with all Gambler soft plastic baits, the Cricket is loaded with Bang natural crawdad and shad oils, which makes bass hold on longer - so when the bites get scarce, you have a better shot at hooking up.
