The Paladin Series – Speed, Flash, and Precision
Built to move fast, stay tight, and pull fish from cover.
The Paladin 425 and 525 are the lures you reach for when fish are chasing — when speed matters, and every cast needs to count. Designed for anglers who love a fast retrieve and want their crankbait to track true without blowing out, the Paladin family delivers a tight wiggle, clean roll, and serious flash that imitates a fleeing baitfish better than anything else in the box.
Unlike the wide, hunting action of our Rogue series, Paladins run straighter, making them ideal for covering water, deflecting off structure, and staying in control at higher speeds. The result? More aggressive reaction bites — and more landed fish.
Both sizes are hand-turned from buoyant eastern cedar, equipped with custom stainless steel lips, and finished with a hand-painted epoxy-sealed coat that stands up to the fight and looks good doing it.
🛠️ Two Sizes. One Purpose: Get Bit.
🎯 Paladin 425 (4.25”)
The fast-moving mid-size.
Built for bass, pike, and walleye in rivers, lakes, and pressured zones. Runs shallower than the Rogue 425 with a tighter profile and crisp roll — ideal for shallow cover, weed tops, and shoreline edges.
🎯 Paladin 525 (5.25”)
The power version.
Designed for trophy bass, pike, and other aggressive predators. Its larger profile flashes harder and tracks beautifully at speed. Perfect for open water retrieves, windblown banks, or anytime you want to call in big fish from a distance.
