Musky Armor: 9.5" Krave (Discontinued)
The Ultimate Solid-Body Shallow Water Specialist
The Musky Armor Krave is a legendary drop-belly crankbait specifically designed to conquer shallow-water "danger zones" where other lures simply cannot go. Known for its incredible buoyancy and erratic side-to-side action, the Krave is a premier choice for picking apart heavy cover. Now discontinued and rare, this 9.5-inch powerhouse is a collector-grade tool that continues to produce giant muskies.
Precision Engineering for Tight Cover
The Krave's unique solid-body geometry allows it to be fished aggressively through the "nasty" stuff:
-
Drop-Belly Design: The specialized deep-belly profile creates a unique "wobble" and swimming action that differs from traditional straight-sided minnows, triggering aggressive strikes.
-
Superior Buoyancy: Built with extreme buoyancy, the Krave is designed to easily bounce off rocks and shallow structure without getting snagged.
-
Maximum Durability: Like all Musky Armor products, the Krave is molded from high-impact materials and features a reinforced lip to take a pounding against timber and stone.
Versatile Depths and Presentation
The Krave provides unmatched versatility for various fishing styles:
-
Casting: The Krave will dive down to a maximum of 2 feet on a standard retrieve, allowing you to fish weeds and rocks where other baits would fail.
-
Trolling: This bait can reach depths of up to 6 feet when trolled, keeping it high in the water column even as more anglers move to deeper water.
-
Night Fishing: The combination of its rhythmic action and internal rattles ensures it won't go unnoticed at night, making it deadly at dawn, dusk, or in total darkness.

Pro Tactic: The "Cover Bounce"
Because the Krave is "super buoyant," it is a master at navigating structure. When casting into shallow rocks or weed lines, intentionally allow the bait to make contact. As soon as you feel a bump, stop the retrieve. The Krave will naturally back away and rise up out of the snag. This erratic "fleeing" motion is a legendary trigger for following muskies waiting in ambush.
With its solid-body strength and high-impact rattles, the Musky Armor Krave is a mandatory addition to any shallow-water big bait box.
