About this piece
The Crankie Darter debuted in 1988 as Tiemco's first original fishing lure. This floating crankbait excels in both ultra-clear and stained water, drawing strikes from bass with its high-pitch, seductive shad-like action. Designed for surface to mid-depth use, it has been revitalized to meet modern angling demands.
