Lanier Lures Reaper Series 1.5 Crankbait

Natural look. Unnatural results.

When fish are keyed in on natural forage but won’t commit to standard colors, this is the bait that changes the outcome. The Lanier Lures Reaper Series 1.5 Crankbait blends a muted olive profile with a subtle purple color shift that comes alive in the water.

At rest, it looks like a natural baitfish or bream—but on the retrieve, that hidden flash gives it just enough edge to trigger reaction strikes. Combined with a tight, hunting wobble and deflection-ready bill, this bait excels around rock, wood, and shallow cover where big fish ambush.

This is the one you tie on when they’ve seen everything else.

🔥

Why it works:

• Olive-to-purple color shift adds flash without spooking fish
• Natural forage profile for pressured and clear water
• Tight wobble action for consistent reaction bites
• Diving bill design for shallow structure and deflection
• 1.5 size profile – perfect for matching smaller bait

🎯

Best tied on when:

• Water is clear to lightly stained
• Fish are pressured or hesitant
• Bream or baitfish are present
• Standard colors aren’t getting bites
