6th Sense Crush 50X Squarebill Crankbait

The 6th Sense Crush 50X Squarebill Crankbait is the finesse-sized squarebill in the Crush series — a 2.25", 3/8 oz profile built for the same shallow cover applications as the larger 100X but with a smaller baitfish profile that matches juvenile shad, small bluegill, and smaller forage that bass key on in clear water and pressured conditions. Designed for crashing thick shallow cover, ripping out of grass, deflecting off rocks, and burning in open water in the 2–5 foot depth range. The 50X finish delivers 3D gill plates, 3D eyes, and 3D scales for a hyper-realistic baitfish appearance, paired with sharp black nickel hooks. 12 colors.

Key Features

• Finesse Squarebill Profile — 2.25" / 3/8 oz — Smaller body and lighter weight than the Crush 100X (2.67", 5/8 oz) for matching smaller baitfish profiles and fishing lighter line; the 3/8 oz weight is ideal for lighter spinning or baitcast setups where the 5/8 oz 100X is too heavy; smaller profile triggers strikes from bass keying on juvenile shad and small bluegill in clear water and pressured conditions.
• Shallow Cover Design — 2–5 ft Depth — Squarebill profile and 2–5 ft running depth for shallow cover fishing; the square bill deflects off wood, rocks, and hard cover to change direction erratically and trigger reaction strikes from bass holding tight to structure; effective crashing laydowns, dock posts, riprap banks, and rocky points in the 2–5 foot zone.
• Grass Ripping Capability — Designed to be ripped through submerged grass and vegetation; the squarebill profile and 3/8 oz weight allow the bait to punch through grass and emerge cleanly on the rip, triggering reaction strikes from bass holding in and around the grass canopy.
• 3D Gill Plates, 3D Eyes & 3D Scales — The 50X finish package includes three-dimensional gill plates, eyes, and scales that create a hyper-realistic baitfish profile; the full 3D detail package produces a lifelike appearance that triggers strikes from sight-feeding bass in clear water conditions where bait realism is a critical factor.
• Premium Black Nickel Hooks — Sharp black nickel treble hooks for maximum hookup ratio on shallow cover strikes; black nickel finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-visibility hook profile that doesn’t detract from the bait’s natural appearance.

Crush 50X vs. Crush 100X — Which Size?

• Crush 50X (2.25", 3/8 oz) — Finesse profile for matching smaller forage, fishing lighter line, clear water conditions, and pressured bass that have seen the larger profile; better suited for spinning gear and lighter baitcast setups.
• Crush 100X (2.67", 5/8 oz) — Larger profile for matching bigger baitfish, heavier cover, and situations where maximum deflection force and casting distance are needed; better suited for medium-heavy baitcast setups.

Color Guide

• Shad Greens — Shad with green accent; effective in water with green algae tint where standard chrome shad colors lose effectiveness; green tones match the ambient water color for a more natural shad imitation in green-tinted water.
• Sexified Chartreuse Shad — High-visibility chartreuse shad; most effective in stained water and low-light conditions where chartreuse provides maximum visibility; chartreuse tones trigger reaction strikes from bass in off-color water where natural imitation colors lose effectiveness.
• Boiled Crawfish — Boiled crawfish red/orange pattern; highly effective in spring when bass are feeding heavily on crawfish; red/orange tones trigger feeding strikes from bass keying on crawfish in rocky and hard-bottom shallow cover.
• Shad Burst — High-flash shad imitation with burst finish; effective in clear to lightly stained water when shad are the primary forage; flash and shad profile trigger reaction strikes from bass keying on baitfish.
• Gilliken — Gilliken attractor pattern; effective in stained water and low-light conditions; provides high contrast and visibility in off-color water where natural baitfish colors lose effectiveness.
• Baby Bluegill — Juvenile bluegill imitation; effective around shallow cover where small bluegill are present as forage; the smaller 50X profile is ideal for matching the juvenile bluegill size that bass key on in spring and early summer.
• Live Shiner — Realistic live shiner imitation; effective in clear water when bass are keying on shiners; detailed shiner profile triggers strikes from sight-feeding bass on open water flats and shallow points.
• Shad Drone — Shad drone pattern; effective in clear to lightly stained water for bass keying on shad; provides a slightly different shad profile than standard chrome finishes for pressured fish that have seen conventional shad colors.
• Phantom Craw — Translucent phantom crawfish pattern; effective in clear water where a subtle, natural crawfish profile is preferred over high-contrast crawfish colors; phantom finish allows light to pass through the body for a lifelike translucent appearance.
• Craw Bomb — Crawfish bomb pattern; highly effective in spring when bass are feeding heavily on crawfish; red/orange tones trigger feeding strikes from bass keying on crawfish in rocky and hard-bottom areas.
• Bluegill Magic — Bluegill imitation with magic finish; effective around shallow cover, docks, and grass edges where bluegill are the primary forage; highly effective during and after the bluegill spawn when bass are aggressively feeding on bluegill.
• Pumpkinseed Sunfish — Pumpkinseed sunfish imitation; effective around shallow cover and docks where pumpkinseed sunfish are present as forage; the detailed sunfish pattern triggers feeding and territorial strikes from bass holding in sunfish habitat.

Best For

• Clear Water & Pressured Bass — Smaller 2.25" profile and hyper-realistic 3D detail package trigger strikes from sight-feeding and pressured bass that ignore larger squarebill profiles; finesse squarebill approach for clear water lakes and heavily fished impoundments where bass have seen every standard squarebill retrieve.
• Shallow Cover Fishing — Squarebill profile and 2–5 ft depth range for shallow cover — laydowns, dock posts, riprap banks, and rocky points; the square bill deflects off cover to change direction erratically and trigger reaction strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
• Spring Bass Fishing — Boiled Crawfish, Craw Bomb, Phantom Craw, Baby Bluegill, and Bluegill Magic colors for spring bass feeding on crawfish and spawning bluegill; 2–5 ft depth range covers the primary spring bass holding depth on shallow flats, points, and spawning areas.
• Lighter Line & Spinning Gear — 3/8 oz weight is ideal for medium spinning gear and lighter baitcast setups where the 5/8 oz 100X is too heavy; allows the Crush 50X to be fished on 10–12 lb fluorocarbon or light braid for a more finesse squarebill presentation.
