Category 5’s Suicide Croaker

With a lifelike body and paddle tail, Category 5 Suicide Croakers are deadly on redfish and speckled trout. The baits are known for lively action when used as a swim bait, jerk bait or attached to a spinnerbait.

The 4-inch-long soft plastics are textured and come in a variety of colors. The tiger bait color proved to work well for my son and me in the Vermilion Bay waters near the Trash Pile, when the birds were working and the shrimp was popping in late August.
