The Lucky Craft Fat CB BDS (Big Daddy Strike) Series takes the advantages of balsa wood lures and puts them to use in a professional hard plastic shallow-running crankbait. The BDS Series allows for swimming the crank slowly at an exact depth that is only possible with plastic crankbaits. This lure proves that plastic cranks can fish fast and slow and has a great advantage in certain situations. The BDS Series was designed by tournament pros that demanded performance. These shallow-running crankbaits are the most durable, effective and consistent running crankbaits on the market today. Tournament professionals throughout the country prefer these crankbaits.

The BDS 4 is the largest bait of the BDS family. Although it’s the same length as a BDS 3, it’s much fatter with a broader head and lip, which gives it some serious wobble in the water.

The lure’s large profile makes it a staple in Kelly Jordon’s tackle box.
“The key to the BDS 4 is its buoyancy,” Jordon says. “Reel it through the gnarliest cover you can find and its fat body and wide wobble allow it to deflect off obstructions and keep on chugging. If it starts to bind up in the cover, just pause it, and its ultra-high buoyancy will lift it up free of a snag, and you can continue the retrieve.”

The BDS 4 will dive down to 4 feet on 17-pound test line, but Jordon contends the bait is designed for maximum shallow-cover contact, not depth.
“If you want maximum depth from a wobbler, the BDS 3 is the deep-diver of the Fat CB family,” he says. “The BDS 4 is made for crashing cover in 1 to 4 feet.

For that reason, one of Jordon’s favorite places to throw a BDS 4 is around cypress trees.
