The Luhr-Jensen Crippled Herring is a legendary, high-action metal spoon designed to trigger aggressive predator strikes in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Precision-engineered with a realistic baitfish body shape and a light-reflecting hammered crinkle finish, this versatile lure mimics a fleeing or injured baitfish. Whether you are targeting striped bass, salmon, trout, or bluefish, its erratic fluttering action on the fall makes it an essential addition to any angler's tackle box.

How to Use the Crippled Herring
-
Vertical Jigging: Drop the lure to the bottom using a fish finder, then use a slow, long upward motion of the rod tip followed by a fast drop. Most strikes occur on the downward fall as the spoon flutters.
-
Casting & Retrieving: Cast the heavy aerodynamic body out into surf or open water and use a steady or erratic retrieve to mimic a darting baitfish.
-
Cold Water Trolling: Troll at variable speeds behind a boat or flatline, allowing the natural wobble of the spoon to attract patrolling game fish.
