BOOYAH Exclusive Colors

Monday, February 06, 2023

Lipless crankbaits for bass fishing always get attention this time of year. These lures excel late in the winter and through the first half of spring. They produce enough tournament wins and big bass to regularly get highlighted on social media feeds and be featured in seasonal articles, podcasts, videos and more. If you pay any attention to the world of bass fishing, you can’t help but hear about lipless crankbaits, which also commonly dubbed rattle baits.

This year’s lipless crankbait buzz has been extra loud and started early because of a special launch by the Lurenet Paint Shop. The Paint Shop, which has built a big reputation with its crazily good custom colors, has kicked it up a notch with the release of SIX custom colors of the BOOYAH Hard Knocker and One Knocker. Like all Paint Shop releases, these are limited runs, with 300 of each size and color made.

Let’s take a closer look at lipless crankbaits like the One Knocker and Hard Knocker and the vital role they play in bass fishing strategies early in the year. We’ll consider why these baits work so well for early season bass fishing and then dig into the best locations and strategies for using lipless crankbaits to catch more bass.

New Paint Shop Colors

Before diving into season and strategies, let’s take a closer look at the Paint Shop release. Like past releases, these are available only from Lurenet.com, and with limited availability. In one sense, a decent total number of lures are available (so far). The Hard Knocker and One Knocker are both available in 1/4- and 1/2-ounce sizes in all six colors. That said, only 300 are available for any given color, size and model. Therefore, as an example, once Lurenet has sold 300 1/2-ounce Hard Knockers in Party Craw, that one isn’t just out of stock. It’s gone.

You really need to look and see the tones, details and finishes for yourself, but the colors are G Finish Red Craw, G Finish Brown Craw, Party Craw, Goldie, Graffiti Craw and Bulletproof Gill. G Finish colors, never previously available on a Hard Knocker or One Knocker, have a distinctive shimmery coating. All six color patterns feature “cold-water colors” including red, brown, gold, orange and purple.
