6th Sense Quake 80SP Suspending Lipless Crankbait

The 6th Sense Quake 80SP Suspending Lipless Crankbait takes a fundamentally different approach to the standard lipless crankbait with a temperature-reactive suspension system that automatically adjusts hang time based on water temperature — suspending longer in cold water where fish are lethargic and require a longer pause to trigger strikes, and suspending shorter in warm water where fish are more active and a faster presentation is more effective. The result is a lipless crankbait that self-adjusts to the conditions without changing lures, making it a true year-round bait across all seasons. 

Key Features

• Temperature-Reactive Suspension System — The defining innovation of the Quake 80SP; the suspension system is engineered to vary hang time with water temperature — longer pause in cold water (below 55°F) where bass are lethargic and need more time to commit, shorter pause in warm water (above 65°F) where bass are active and a faster presentation triggers more strikes; eliminates the need to switch between sinking and suspending lipless crankbaits as seasons change.
• Suspending (SP) Action — Unlike standard sinking lipless crankbaits that fall on the pause, the Quake 80SP achieves neutral buoyancy and hangs in the strike zone on the stop; the pause is the primary trigger for reaction strikes from bass that follow the bait but won’t commit on a moving target — the suspending action gives fish the time they need to eat.
• Rip-Twitch-Pause Retrieve — Designed for a rip-then-twitch retrieve with a stop-and-go cadence; rip the bait to trigger reaction strikes, twitch to change direction and add erratic action, pause to let the suspension system work and give following fish time to commit; more versatile retrieve profile than a standard burn-and-kill lipless crankbait.
• Grass Flat & Flooded Grass Capable — Suspending action allows the Quake 80SP to be worked over grass flats and through flooded grass without the constant bottom contact and snag risk of a sinking lipless crankbait; pause the bait above the grass canopy to trigger strikes from bass holding just below the surface.
• Same Action as the Standard Quake 80 — Retains the proven tight, high-frequency vibration and action of the original Quake 80 lipless crankbait; the SP suspension system adds pause capability without sacrificing the retrieve action that makes the Quake 80 effective on a straight retrieve.
• Year-Round Versatility — Temperature-reactive suspension makes the Quake 80SP effective across all seasons — cold water winter and early spring fishing where a long pause is critical, transitional spring and fall fishing where variable pause times match changing fish activity levels, and warm water summer fishing where a shorter pause keeps the bait in the strike zone efficiently.

Color Guide

• Chrome Threadfin — High-flash chrome finish with threadfin shad imitation; maximum flash and realistic shad profile for clear water conditions where bass are keying on threadfin shad; effective on open water flats and main lake points where shad are the primary forage.
• Rayburn Ghost — Translucent ghost finish; effective in clear to lightly stained water where a more subtle, natural profile is preferred; ghost finishes allow light to pass through the body for a lifelike translucent baitfish appearance that triggers strikes from pressured bass.

Best For

• Cold Water Bass (Winter & Early Spring) — Temperature-reactive suspension system provides maximum hang time in cold water — the most critical period for suspending lipless crankbaits when bass are lethargic and require a long pause to trigger strikes; fish the Quake 80SP on a slow rip-pause retrieve over main lake points, channel edges, and submerged grass in 45–58°F water.
• Grass Flat Fishing — Suspending action allows the bait to be worked over and through grass flats without constant bottom contact; pause the bait just above the grass canopy to trigger strikes from bass holding in the grass; rip through the grass to trigger reaction strikes from bass buried in the vegetation.
• Transitional Season Fishing (Spring & Fall) — Temperature-reactive system automatically adjusts pause time as water temperatures fluctuate during spring and fall transitions; eliminates the need to constantly adjust retrieve cadence as daily water temperatures change — the bait self-adjusts to match fish activity levels.
• Pressured Bass — Stop-and-go retrieve and suspending pause give pressured bass a different look than the standard burn-and-kill lipless crankbait retrieve; the pause triggers strikes from fish that follow but won’t commit on a moving bait.
