Features

  • KEY SPECS: Finally, a Thunder Cricket bladed jig with a tungsten head for added castability and superior vibration. The super-dense tungsten head of this Thunder Cricket creates a heavier lure in a smaller package. The Tungsten Thunder Cricket casts exceptionally well for a smaller-profile lure, even in windy conditions, and the dense head allows for maximum fish-attracting vibration
  • VERSATILITY ON THE WATER: The Tungsten Thunder Cricket is an exceptional choice around brush and vegetation. Its thin profile allows it to swim through standing grass well, and the pump of the blade is powerful enough to lure feeding fish out of cover to strike. It can be burned at a fast rate to cover shallow water quickly or can be slow-rolled near deeper rock and brush piles, attracting fish as it flutters down
  • READY FOR YOUR FAVORITE TRAILER: the exceptional trailer keeper of Strike Kings Tungsten Thunder Cricket holds soft-plastics like no other, keeping your trailer firmly in place through brutal strikes, hard-fighting fish and hours upon hours of casts. Gone are the days of missing a hookset or ruining the perfect cast because a plastic trailer has slipped down the hook shank
  • SUPERIOR ACTION: Strike Kings Tungsten Thunder Cricket features a hand-tied skirt that wiggles and dances like no other. Paired with the tight-vibration of the blade, the skirt imparts an movement that is hard for fish to ignore, resulting in strong reaction strikes

Description

Strike King’s Tungsten Thunder Cricket now features a super-dense and compact tungsten head that allows for the same legendary tight vibration of the original Thunder Cricket in a smaller size. The Tungsten Thunder Cricket is designed to make longer casts than any finesse-sized bladed jig and features a super-strong long-shank Owner Jungle Hook. The eyelet is designed to pivot freely, which produces a superior action and allows for stronger hookset. The Tungsten Thunder Cricket also features a hand-tied skirt for superior swimming action and an extra-durable trailer keeper to keep soft plastics firmly in place. Strike King offers the Tungsten Thunder Cricket in 14 colors and three sizes

    • A Versatile, High-Action Vibrating Swim Jig That Delivers on Both Action and Sensitivity
Color: Chartreuse White Size: 3/8 oz
I’ve added the Strike King Tungsten Thunder Cricket Vibrating Swim Jig to my fishing tackle assortment, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to lures for both pressured spots and open water. Right out of the package, this lure feels well-engineered and thoughtfully designed. The tungsten head makes the profile more compact without sacrificing weight, which helps it cast farther and sink quickly where the fish are holding — a definite advantage when you’re trying to get down to schooling bass or work deeper structure more efficiently. The blade action and vibration are standout features. The design produces strong pulsation and flash that bass seem to find irresistible, whether I’m running it fast across points or slow-rolling through vegetation. It’s versatile enough to adapt to different retrieves and water conditions, making it a reliable choice throughout a day on the water. I also appreciate the trailers and bait keeper system, which grips soft plastics securely and extends the life of the trailers through multiple casts and fish. The overall finish — including paint and 3D eyes — not only looks sharp but also seems rugged enough to handle repeated use without premature wear. Whether you’re dialing in a new technique around cover or just want a vibrating swim jig that feels confident in your hand, this lure consistently performs and adds a dynamic piece to any tackle box. ... show more

The Thunder Cricket is another fish catching alternative to the Chatterbait and other bladed jigs.

    • Well balanced chatterbait

What you see is what you get!!!!! The thunder cricket never disappoints on appropriate tackle. Usually buy 4-5 a season and they hold up too a lot of fish. Best motion I seen with a chatterbait!
