Think squarebill crankbaits and a big profile bait comes to mind. That’s what makes this bait a standout. All squarebills aren’t created equal. The ultra-thin, balsa wood body of the OG Tiny 4 is ideal for tough fishing conditions and especially in cold water. Just like its OG siblings, the OG Tiny 4 features a circuit board lip that moves less water and provides sensitive feel of the bottom for better feel of the bait. Length: 2 1/4 inches. Weight: 5/16 ounce. Depth: 4 feet.

Available in 1/8- and 1/4-ounce models. Length: 2 1/2 inches. Weight: 1/44 ounce. Depth: 8 feet. Class: Floating.
