Originally introduced in the 1980's under the name Carolina Killer, this iconic flat-sided balsa crankbait helped set the foundation for modern lure design. Now, decades later, we’re proud to relaunch this classic under a new name—Pickle Plug.
The Pickle Plug stays true to the heritage that made the original a favorite among serious anglers. Each plug features the same thoughtful, internal stainless steel wire-through harness, high-grade balsa wood construction, and a precisely set Lexan lip for a tight, lively action that excels in cold water, pressured fisheries, and any situation where subtle vibration makes all the difference.
For the launch, we’re bringing back our most demanded, time-tested colors from years past—paired with a select few new patterns we’ve refined and fished extensively over the last several seasons. We begin with the most popular size, the Small Genesis, with additional sizes rolling out gradually until the full lineup is back in production.
Every Pickle Plug crankbait is hand-cut, hand-assembled, and hand-painted in Pisgah Forest, using premium Gamakatsu hooks to ensure top-tier performance straight out of the package.
Pickle Plugs are best suited for water from 4-7 feet deep.
