Creek Life Two Piece Tater 37 mm Jointed Micro Crankbait

The Creek Life Lure Co. Two Piece Tater is a floating, jointed micro crankbait with a wide wobble and added tail kick. Its two-piece, 37 mm body keeps the presentation small for trout, creek bass, panfish, and pressured freshwater fish.

Weighing 2.3 grams and fitted with two single hooks, it is designed to run approximately 1 foot deep. Work it slowly beside shallow banks, rock, wood cover, riffles, and creek current seams, or retrieve it just beneath the surface for a waking presentation. Actual running depth varies with line, casting distance, retrieve, and conditions.

Target Species and Tackle

Use it for trout, creek bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, bluegill, crappie, redbreast sunfish, perch, creek chub, and other freshwater fish. Creek Life recommends ultralight, light, or BFS setups with 2–8 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon, or braid with a leader. Match the rod and reel to the lure’s 2.3-gram weight and choose line for your conditions.

How to Fish It

Begin with a short cast where you can watch the jointed body. Use a slow, steady retrieve that lets the bait wobble and the tail kick without overpowering the small profile.

Try a twitch followed by a pause, or alternate short retrieves with stops to let the floating lure begin to rise. For a near-surface waking approach, watch its position and adjust your retrieve to keep it just beneath the surface.

Cast beside shallow wood, along rock edges, or across a current seam while leaving clearance for the exposed hooks. Let the current contribute to the presentation, recover excess slack, and check for debris or fouled hooks if the action changes.

Care and Storage

Inspect the joint, diving bill, hook points, and connections after fish or hard contact. Remove debris, let the lure dry, and store it separately or with hooks contained to prevent tangles.
