The Crippled Herring is the most versatile lure you'll ever use. It is natural both in appearance and action and can be used worldwide, every day of the year, for both fresh and salt water fishing.

The Crippled Herring is constructed to take full advantage of the natural predatorial instinct common to all gamefish. Every movement of any type of distressed baitfish (stunned, struggling or dying) has been assimilated into this lure.

A Crippled Herring will arouse fish and provoke strikes when conventional lures or natural bait will not, like, for instance, on a dead calm, bright sunny day. It is a sight-sound lure, which can be cast vertically jigged through ice or open water, mooched or trolled.

This lure is great for Striped Bass, Bluefish, False Albacore, Bonito, and Bluefin Tuna. The larger sizes are retrofit with strong, single Gamakatsu Hooks for more hook holding power against strikes initiated by big Striped Bass and Bluefin Tuna.

Classic Metal for Bass / Blues
May 13, 2022
Crippled Herrings are a classic for bass and blues. They work well from surf, pier or boat.
Pros
  • Effective lure.
Cons
  • Could have a long wait for order to be fulfilled - especially on the larger ones.

New 2021 design has durability issues
September 12, 2021
I lost my chrome crippled herring and purchased 3 new chrome lures different sizes in the summer of 2021 w/Tackle Direct and noticed they changed the design from the one I lost. TD as always handled the purchase efficiently.

After a single use of each lure the chrome bubbled, chipped off or peeled of each lure and hook rusted w/o catching fish. I fresh water rinse after use too. This is the only reason for the 1 star rating.

I did write to Rapala/Luhr-Jensen and they were very responsive and replaced the 3 lures after i sent in pictures of the durability issue. Plus I sent a comparison photo to an older designed crippled herring I've had over a 1yr that looks brand new even after catching bluefish. Even the replacement lure after 1x use the chrome started to blister off.

For windy conditions you can't beat this lure it works in the surf and caught fish, its just disappointing the durability is no longer a priority or they have a manufacturing issue at this time. I hope they fix this as its one of my most favorites baits.

If you experienced the same let them know so they can fix it.

Good pier lure
June 7, 2021
This lure is a good lure to use off the pier it can be fished as a diamond jig for Bluefish, Spanish mackerel, Sea Trout and a lot of other species. This lure includes a treble hook and a clip by VMC in case one wants to change from the j hook. Over all a 5 star lure.

Excellent caster, decent finish
February 21, 2021
Not the flashiest looking lure in the tackle box, but it gets the job done. I've mainly been using it for bluefish and it has served me well. Really excels as a payload delivery system for a teaser up front, frankly where I've had my best success with it. Long, straight casts with this 2oz model. Not a ton of action, but you can jig it to your liking. Would prefer a dressed single hook for a little more silhouette, but I suppose then it wouldn't cast as far.
Pros
  • sturdy, low profile, great casting distance
Cons
  • OK fit and finish, just looks like stamped or cast metal

Casts far, no swivel though
September 11, 2020
Casts far and looks good but I wish it had a swivel connecting the hook. I mainly fish from the beach so if this thing hits the bottom it will sometimes drag in the sand. So I have to use a fairly fast retrieve which is fine but limits my options from the beach.
Pros
  • Casts nicely
Cons
  • No swivel

Versatility
March 25, 2020
I remember having this lure in my tackle box or bag forever. This is a very versatile lure that can be used for so many different species, with so many different techniques. Therefore I think that everyone should have one of these on their boat or in their tackle box.
Pros
  • Super versatile
  • Catches fish
Cons
  • Poor terminal tackle
