ILLEX Diving chubby 38 crankbait

ILLEX Diving Chubby 38 crankbait

A crankbait designed for depth

Developed by Seiji Kato for Illex, the Diving Chubby 38 is a crankbait type crankbait specifically designed to quickly reach deep holding areas. Its long lip allows it to dive fast and maintain a stable trajectory, ideal for targeting predators holding below the surface.

A realistic and highly stimulating action

The action combines wobbling and rolling, generating strong vibrations and attractive flashes. This action faithfully imitates a fleeing baitfish, a particularly effective trigger for following and wary fish.

An effective floating lure on the pause

Being a floating type, the Diving Chubby 38 rises naturally during pauses. This gradual rise through the water column often triggers strikes, particularly on a stop and go retrieve, when the lure appears vulnerable.

Simple to work and highly versatile

This crankbait is very easy to use. It can be fished on a linear retrieve at different speeds or worked stop and go with more or less pronounced pauses. This versatility allows you to quickly adapt to fish behavior and fishing conditions.

Secure hook-up and reliability

Equipped with two very sharp treble hooks, the Diving Chubby 38 ensures an excellent hook-up rate while limiting hook-offs, even during violent or late strikes.
