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.
- Effective lure.
- Could have a long wait for order to be fulfilled - especially on the larger ones.
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.
