About this piece
The Evergreen Clutch Hitter 58mm is a super shallow-running crankbait designed by renowned angler Morizo Shimizu. Engineered to target water less than 30 cm deep, it excels at calling up bass from weedy flats, deflecting off cover, and triggering strikes near the surface. Its high-pitch, wide wobbling roll action paired with a dual-material rattle system makes it a powerful tool for aggressive bank fishing and open-water searches.

- Wide lip aids cover deflection and generates an enticing pause flutter
- Equipped with Treble Magic hooks, size 5 front and 6 rear for reliable sets
