Joe Bucher Jointed Shallow Raider Crankbait

Joe Bucher Jointed Shallow Raider Crankbait is a shallow-running crankbait built to call Pike and Musky on a straight retrieve or when trolled.

It also shines when you work it like a jerkbait around cover: short jerks and longer pauses help keep it riding higher over weeds, while adding slack during the jerk and pause brings out more side-to-side travel. To drive it deeper, lengthen the jerk and shorten the pause, and remember that line diameter and cast/troll length both change running depth with the Joe Bucher Outdoors Joe Bucher Jointed Shallow Raider Crankbait.

When & Where It Shines

• Keeps your presentation above high weeds, thanks to a cadence of short jerks and longer pauses.
• Triggers followers tight to cover with wider lateral movement, thanks to controlled slack during the jerk and pause.
• Lets you fine-tune running depth to match the zone, thanks to line diameter and cast/troll length adjustments.
• Covers water efficiently for big predators, working equally well as a musky crankbait on a steady retrieve or behind the boat.
