The Speed Trap™ series are the best shallow-running crankbaits in the tackle
industry and their design is not just a fortunate accident. Expensive computerized
mold technology was used in the final design to create a “thin-wall” lure body shell that produces the action and
vibration of handmade wood lures, while retaining the durability and consistency of an injection-molded plastic
body.
There are several very important design characteristics that make the Speed Trap different from the typical
shallow-running crankbait or “alphabet-style” lure. These are the “tool” features you should concentrate on when
you apply this lure to a certain body of water!
COMPUTERIZED MOLD TECHNOLOGY
The real design story is inside! The Speed Trap features a "minimal mass"thin-wall lure body where all nonessential plastic mass is removed. This lightweight, strong construction produces the action of the finest wood
lures in a consistent, durable plastic body.

or mid-speed body action or vibration. It achieves this by good design and balance. Many anglers think only lipless, vibrating, rattle lures can do this, but the Speed Trap achieves this in a floating, snag-resistant, clear-lipped crankbait.
1. A properly-tuned Speed Trap will run dead straight as fast as you can crank it! At the same time, it does not lose any low or mid-speed body action or vibration. It achieves this by good design and balance. Many anglers think only lipless, vibrating, rattle lures can do this, but the Speed Trap achieves this in a floating, snag-resistant, clear-lipped crankbait.
2. It is especially important for you to know that Speed Traps have an intermediate diving depth or depth control right between the typical fat body shallow runner and the mid-depth divers. The lure also has a sharper dive angle than fat alphabet-style lures or flat-sided, shallow-running crankbaits. Because of this, the Speed Trap often dominates these lures in fish response whenever you need a modern high-vibration crankbait to run in the 3- to 10- ft. depth range. A sharp dive angle also gets you there quicker, especially along steep banks and weed lines. Use the larger Speed Trap in the 3- to 10- ft. range because you can easily reach the 6- to 8-ft. depths with it on 10- to 12-lb. line.
3. The Speed Trap s have wide lips and an intermediate-width body. This makes them good in wood and rock cover and you have the option to float them back off of snags as you contact them. 4. If you really want to exploit the potential of the Speed Trap, carry both the larger 2 3/4-in. and smaller 2 1/8-in. lures in your tackle box in a modest color selection keyed to your area. Use the two sizes interchangeably on a single spot and use them on either light (10- to 12-lb. test) line or heavy line up to 20-lb. test. This gives a wide range of depth control with only two lures and allows a wide variation of retrieve styles.
