Description
Rebel Crickhopper
On ponds, small streams, and protected near-shore areas of larger waters, nothing can beat a Rebel® Crickhopper™. In these environments, terrestrial insects comprise the bulk of a resident fish's diet in some seasons – and nothing looks more lifelike than a Rebel Crickhopper! Twitch it on top to imitate real life, or run it down 2 or 3 feet to force a follower to commit. Absolutely deadly on big panfish, trout, and even bass!
Ideal for fishing smaller waters
Extremely lifelike design
Twitch on top, or dive to 2'–3'
Deadly for panfish, trout, and bass

Extremely versatile and effectiveI've been fishing with Rebel products for years, when fishing gets tough, alap on of these bad boys on......catches everything and once I caught a 6lb carp with it. No tackle box is complete without an army of rebel lures.

So Many ways to use it!This makes a great lure for light line (2-6Lb)
Regardless of size it doesn't only catch panfish, it also catches big fish. I caught A 3Lb largemouth on it a few days before I made this review. You can use it as a top water too. My favorite way to fish it is by letting it sit for 5 seconds after it hits the water, then twitching it and use it as a sub surface crank. Also you can reel faster to make it go down around 2 ft.
The only negative is due to the big lip design the front treble gets caught on the lip and kills the cast. That happens probably 3 out of 10 casts. But no matter, it is a small price to pay for a great lure!

Good lure but incredibly lightThe lure imitates a swimming cricket on the water top that the bass and Panfish can't resist. In the hot summer months Just cast it under a tree and hold your hat. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is very hard to cast at times, due to its light weight. However if you are looking for a top water fish catcher the yellow cricket works wonders.

A must have!!I have had the Yellow Grasshopper for many years now. Whenever I am having a slow day on the lake or pond I know I can turn to my Crickhopper to catch some fish!! Great for the experienced fisherman or for the youngsters who have short attention spans!

Hard to get from CExcellent lure for all seasons; pan fish, trout, bass, crappie. Looked for months and C did not carry them in the store. Had to order and pay extra to get them.
Can the crickhopper be tied directly to liight Spiderwire wirhout a mono leader? Pike keep biting me off.
Asked by: Grizz
Per the Manufacturer - " He can use spider wire but If he is having problem with pike biting his line he may need to use a steel leader. To be honest this lure is not designed for Pike. Pike will probably trash the lure pretty fast"

For sunfish just troll it low and slow and it will be attacked trust me sunfish just can't stand this lure. They are predatorial and will attack it just because it's in their space.
