The Crippled Herring is the most versatile lure you'll ever use. It can be vertically jigged, cast and retrieved and even trolled in both fresh and saltwater alike. Its high-action design takes advantage of the strong predator instinct programmed into game fish. Stunned, struggling and dying baitfish actions have been engineered into this unique Luhr-Jensen lure. Every Crippled Herring comes from the factory shaped for optimum action and sound, featuring a life-like body shape and precision-engineering for maximum action.
