Overview
A micro-sized take on the original Claud Hopper, the Azuma Claud Hopper Jr. is the most tested and prototyped bait of all Azuma lures. Azuma dedicated three years into developing a crankbait with a diving bill that is as large as possible while on an extremely small body for a unique ultra-finesse presentation. It is capable of diving to depths over 5 feet yet has a body size of only 1 - 3/4 inches, perfect for targeting deeper bass that are still keying in on smaller baitfish.
To achieve increased hook-ups without sacrificing its unique action, the Claud Hopper Jr. utilizes a single #4 treble hook, which is much larger than typically found on baits this size. In addition to a better hook-up ratio, the single hook presentation eliminates any chance of those pesky treble hook tangles that occur on baits with multiple hooks.
The result of all these key features is a lure with an action and size unlike anything currently on the market. To achieve and maintain its deadly and effective action it must be fished with a slow to medium retrieve, as burning it in will overpower the bait and affect its innovative action. Ideal for enraging bass in the 2 to 5-foot range, the Azuma Claud Hopper Jr. is primed to change the game in finesse cranking.
