Questions about Rebel Lures Crickhopper Cricket/Grasshopper Crankbait Fishing Lure, 1 1/2 Inch, 1/4 Ounce

Are these good for bass fishin and how heavy is it

Answer: I'd consider these pretty small for bass, though you could easily get hooked up with one. A sizable bass would swallow these pretty easily. They are more suited to mid-sized panfish/sunfish or juvenile bass and crappie. They're a lot of fun, but the two trebles are pretty small -- the same size as the trebles on the "bitsy minnow" I believe. I'm not sure the weight, but they are quite light. You are limited to throwing them with a spinning reel. A baitcaster couldn't do anything with these.

Answer: I use these for crappie and small mouth bass and have had good luck with them....there are kinda light in weight but I use them from a boat so I do not have to cast as far

Answer: I like how Amazon screws me and won't let me return a product and then asks me to help another customer with that exact same product. What a great business model! Don't buy these as the colour and detailing were garbage. Go to your local supplier for fishing gear.

Answer: 1.5" long, but I recall seeing larger 3" versions also available.

Answer: lenth without the hooks is 55 mm

Answer: 1.5 ''

what size are the treble hooks?

Do you add weight to the line for this lure?

Answer: Lure fishing does not require the use of weights. You can cast it as it is and reel it back so that the lure moves in the water with a swimming motion that will attract bass

Answer: yes and no. it semi floats . but add just to much and it will sink . use the smallest weight possible if u do deside to. but it will snag easy. so we just let it do its thing and has caught us some nice fish

Answer: I didn't, it has good movement too.

Answer: no, not necessery

Which fishing line would be good for fishing bass on the bighopper 1/4oz?

Answer: I would recommend anything under 10lb line. I usually use 8-10

Answer: 6# to 12#

Answer: 6lb mono

I want color "brown cricket" @ $4.83, how do I order it???

Answer: I would order the yellow one!!

Does it rattle?

Answer: My Crickhoppers rattle like there’s a bead inside. All of my Rebel hardbody lures rattle, and Rebel Pop-R is the loudest. Great baits all.

Answer: no rattle

Answer: Yes it does, it woks greatly!

What Lb test line is good for this? Is this considered ultralight?

would this be ok for small perch

Answer: Yes I have caught a wide size range of fish on this lure. From Bluegill that are barely bigger than the lure to huge Bass. so yes you would be able to do perch and any other small fish.

Answer: no its a bit big for pan fish. weve got trout and bass on it. the treble hook on it seems like a size 10. maybe if u change hook size to like maybe 14 or 16then its a possibility. but as is id say no

these seem pretty light, any tips/tricks to cast as far as possible?

Answer: I have been used fluorocarbon line for 12 pounds has been pretty good if you use for 10 or 8 pounds you will be able to trow farest.

Answer: I have used these lures for years. They have caught trout,bass and pan fish. To get the best distance, use an ultra light rod and reel with 4lb test line. You can experiment with a bobber which will give extra distance or use a small split shot above the lure.

Answer: I use a split shot sinker, I put it on my line about 6 to 10 inches from the grasshopper.

Bring back the rebel wetfrog lures the light brown ones

how long are these lures 1.5 or 1.75 inches?

Answer: i wanna say 1.75 with the plastic in front.

Answer: 1.5"

it says you can get it in a gigger size? where do you go it get them?

Product reviews of Rebel Lures Crickhopper Cricket/Grasshopper Crankbait Fishing Lure, 1 1/2 Inch, 1/4 Ounce

Joseph Zim : HYB

Great lure

Rip Torn : The best lure for small to medium ponds and/or fishing near the bank.

You can catch ANYTHING with these lures. And here's what I've caught, and how.
1) Bass - Cast as far as you can. Let it sit there a few moments. Take out most (but not all) of the slack. Whip your rod to the side one time. This causes the crickhopper to do a quick jerk. Wait a few more moments. Whip it again. If you don't have the sucker yet, it's time to up the ante. Keeping your rod almost straight up, slowly reel in until your line that's landed on the water is now out of the water. At this point, your crickhopper will be doing an irresistible waddle on the surface. It takes a little bit of practice, but you want to reel it as fast as you can without making it dive, but not too slow, or you won't get that enticing ripple behind it. The black color of this particular model is great for clear days with clear water. It becomes a black-on-blue sky target for those bass.
2) Perch / Crappie / etc - Cast it far. Reel it so that it dives, but stop every now and then and let it surface. You'll get one of those suckers real quick.
3) Bullfrogs - Hey, I said ANYTHING, didn't I? Find you a bull frog on the bank. Cast this crickhopper onto the bank a little ways away. Reel in the slack and make the crickhopper jitter. With the fish, you can catch and release. Those frogs go after this, and the only way you'd be able to let them go is if you cut their tongues. The treble hooks mess them up good. I did it a few time by accident casting near the bank and getting caught on a root. Felt terrible everytime.

Caleb C. Fiero : Crickwinner!

Best small fishing lures I've ever used! Yellow, gold, summer hopper, all great colors where I'm at! I love the bumble bug and bluegill square bill from Rebel also!

Johnnie Math : Good lure.

As expected. Good lure. Very lifelike. Will buy again.

Duke Dog : Well made fishing lure

Looks really nice and well made!

Cloggedart : quality looks fine but has not caught a fish yet

Well, quality looks fine but has not caught a fish yet. I totally acknowledge that this could be my own doing but hey...

Amazon Customer : Fish loved it

It looks real moving in water

internaltheft : Four Stars

Love it, can't wait to use it, I think it's something they haven't seen a hundred times before

Alznuthouse : Worked better than expected

My son started catching fish right away with this lure. He was very happy with this lure. Worked great for catfish and small and big mouth bass.

Goose Creek Gang : best damn river lure

i fish rivers in southwestern virginia on a regular basis. if you want to catch shear numbers, then this is your lure. i use the brown/gold color most, but have equal success on black, green and yellow. you will catch a few nice size fish, but most are in the 6-10 inch range. just used this lure last weekend on the New River and caught 40-50 Red Eye (Rock Bass) and Smallies, including a 16 inch smallmouth. just can't say enough about the lure, throw it out near some trees or logs and crank it steady back in. you can even twitch it on the top and entice a bite. buy several and get to fishin'!

Goose Creek Gang : best damn river lure

Randy C. : looks cool but it didn't work for me

I have tried in a couple of different water and weather conditions and have never caught anything with it. The detail on it is great though and the treble hooks are very sharp

Elain : Best for panfish or similar size fish

I have caught lots of panfish or smaller bass with this. It's an excellent lure and in my opinion, I would recommend anybody to give this a go. Works as intended.

michael rowland : these break easily.

Very realistic lure. I'd be wary about ordering online though, these break easily.

MickDodge : Looks like a grasshopper and catches fish

It looks like a grasshopper and it catches fish! I have both this size and the smaller version. Both are good lures, the size of this tends to keep any real small fish from biting and wasting my time getting them off. I want the BIG fish!!

Johnnie Math : Good lure.

As expected. Good lure. Very lifelike. Will buy again.

Darthblazzer : Tied it on the ultralight and it never saw the inside of the tackle box.

The greatest lure ever for creek fishing.

M. Schwabe : Number 1 lure for my area (Eastern PA)

Catches fish!

Robin W. : This thing rocks

I was semi hesitant to buy this because a few reviews said “it was cheap” or “it broke immediately”, I’m happy to say my experience is the exact opposite. This little grasshopper/cricket slays anything in its path. I’ve owned it since January and today was the first time I used it. Within the first half hour, I reeled in 7 bass. No big monsters because it is a smaller bait, but it is definitely one of the most consistent hitting baits I’ve used.

Brad Howard : Great Product

Great Lure. Love it!

Elain : Best for panfish or similar size fish

Kindle Customer : Great bait for trout

I've used this since it came out for trout. I use split shot or 2 in front of it. My favorite trout bait for spinning gear.

M. Schwabe : Number 1 lure for my area (Eastern PA)

Randy C. : looks cool but it didn't work for me

DonCee : Hang in there...
