The Daiwa Crusader Trout lure is a classic spoon design, renowned for its consistent performance and long history of success. It is an indispensable choice for anglers targeting trout, snapper, trevally, kahawai, and salmon in both mainstream and current-rich waters.

Through extensive testing, Daiwa has carefully selected a range of colours proven to attract fish. The lure features a balanced length, width, and moderate thickness, embodying a timeless spoon shape. Its deep tail cup is specifically designed to effectively grasp the current, generating a powerful action that entices fish. This versatility allows the Crusader to perform exceptionally well in various fishing environments, from still water to fast-flowing rivers.

For anglers pursuing larger trout, especially cherry salmon, the 10gm, 13gm, and 17gm sizes are equipped with an OWNER S-61 single hook. This hook specification is engineered to minimise snagging on the bottom while providing a secure gape form and a cutting point oriented towards the eye for solid hooking. The meticulous attention to detail, combined with an ultra-realistic colour range and UV paint, significantly enhances fish attraction. All Daiwa Crusader and Chinook lures are either gold or silver plated, adding to their visual appeal and effectiveness.
