Shape: The shape of a minnow fishing crankbait is similar to that of a small fish, usually between 2-4 inches long. This shape mimics the exact physical attributes of small baitfish, which attracts predatory fish that feed on them.

Weight: Minnow fishing crankbaits weigh between 1/8 to 1ounce, depending on the size. This weight allows the lure to sink in the water column, making it easy to reach deeper levels where predator fish are more active.

Design: Minnow fishing crankbaits have a lip that creates a wobbling action when the lure is retrieved, mimicking the swimming action of live baitfish.

Colors: Minnow fishing crankbaits are designed in various colors to mimic the natural colors of baitfish found in different water bodies. Lures that have brighter colors are more effective in murky water, while lures with more subdued colors are more effective in clear water.

Hooks: Minnow fishing crankbaits come with two hooks, a treble hook, and a single hook. The treble hook is usually placed at the lure's belly, while the single hook is attached to the tail.
