The Esox Research Company Ernie 9 Crankbait is built for anglers who need a hard-running bait that reaches the water most casts never touch. Its a purpose-made tool for pike and musky when theyre holding tight to structure and you need a lure that stays in the strike zone.
At its best, the Esox Research Company Ernie 9 Crankbait lets you grind along bottom contours and breaklines, then sweep it out and let it hunt back inwhether youre casting to edges or trolling to cover water efficiently. Work a steady pull for a tight wobble, then mix in short rod pulses to sell a stressed, fleeing meal when follows turn stubborn.
