Overview
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.

Light / Heavy Presentations for BIG BASS !The BB Cricket by Gambler is a great soft plastic craw for light and heavy line classes. Light monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braid are excellent for finesse techniques, while heavy braid excels for flipping, pitching, and punching. Other craws can't seem to beat these "little" big bass magnets ! Tight Lines !

Comments: Everyone uses these for punching and texas rigged, but I throw them on a ewg ned hook. pretty amazing bait!

Comments: This is one of the best lures for punching mats. Do not let it' small size fool you it does get the attention of the bigger fish. I have used them with 1.25 to 1.75oz tungsten weights with great results . This is the bait I turn to when the mats are thick or the bit is slow.

Comments: One of the best finesse baits out there, especially in the spring. A Cricket, t-rigged with a 1/16 oz. tungsten around structure brought me many a fish this year! My favorite colors are Florida 5-O & green pumpkin black swirl.

Comments: Great Pruduct! I love them. It comes in a 12 count instead of 15 as described!
From: Josh: Church Hill,TN
Comments: Been using these as a flipping/punching bait for years now. Its great when punching mats and the fish arent too active; this fishes perfectly under an 1.5 oz weight and really doesn't do anything but for whatever reason when this falls in front a fishes face they open their mouth :) catches some MONSTERS down here

Comments: Purchased after watching John Crews win on the delta in 2010. I have used 6 of Gamblers colors. All have produced fish in the 3 to 6 1/2 lb range. Bait does rip easily, but worth the cost. Have used the 3'' religiously, I will continue to purchase aslong as I can fish. This is one of the best artificial baits i have used in my 20 + years of fishing.

Comments: Got a couple colors of these after seeing Jon Crews whack some on the Delta w these...never got a chance to use em as a downsized flippin bait but have been using them in Newport Harbor to catch 15" plus Spotted Bay Bass. Killer bait on a standup jighead
