The Berkley Rip Fish Lipless Crankbait is engineered for precision fishing, especially when targeting suspended bass with forward-facing sonar. Featuring a fast-sinking design and flat-bottom profile, this bait allows anglers to control descent rate and keep the lure positioned exactly in the strike zone.

Designed with crisp vibration and a high-pitched internal rattle, the Rip Fish produces aggressive reaction strikes from pressured fish. Its lateral hunting action creates subtle erratic movement that mimics distressed forage, making it effective around deep structure, open water, and vertical presentations.

Available in two sizes:

• Rip Fish 7 – 2.76″ – 3/8 oz – Fast-Sinking

• Rip Fish 9 – 3.54″ – 3/4 oz – Fast-Sinking

The 3/8 oz model is ideal for targeting suspended fish or working mid-depth water columns, while the 3/4 oz version excels in deeper presentations and windy conditions where added weight helps maintain control.

Finished in realistic forage-matching color patterns and equipped with ultra-sharp Fusion19 hooks, the Berkley Rip Fish is built for anglers who demand precision, vibration, and reliability on every cast.
