About this piece
The Evergreen Clutch Hitter is a super shallow running crankbait designed by bass legend 清水盛三. It excels in water under 30 cm, where other cranks can’t reach, using a high-pitch wide wobbling roll action and dual-material rattles to call up big bass. Its fixed internal weight delivers long casts and instant start-up, while the wide lip deflects off cover and recovers quickly to stay in the strike zone.
