BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit: Bucktail Jig with Interchangeable Heads

Get to know the BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit

The BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit is an eye-catching lure that combines the classic look and action of a bucktail with a weighted head. The result is a versatile bucktail jig that suits a range of techniques and predator species.

In this review we look at what makes it special and why it has become a favourite among predator anglers.

An unweighted bucktail needs a fly rod or a very slow presentation. The Crazy Rabbit has a weighted head, so you can cast and fish it on a baitcasting or spinning setup. That makes it a good fit for modern predator fishing, for pike, zander and perch.

Three versions for every situation

The Crazy Rabbit comes in three versions, so you can match it to your water.

BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit JNR

• Length: 21 cm
• Dry weight: 15 g
• Wet weight: 27 g
• Sink rate: around 1 metre per 3 seconds

The smallest of the three, with an extra blade for flash and vibration. A good choice for perch and for lighter tackle.

BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit Shallow

• Length: 29 cm
• Dry weight: 33 g
• Wet weight: 55 g
• Sink rate: around 1 metre per 3 seconds
• Running depth: around 1 to 4 metres

Made for shallow bays, weedy water or warmer water where fish hunt near the surface. The slower sink rate gives you a controlled presentation in the upper layers.

BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit Deep

• Length: 29 cm
• Dry weight: 53 g
• Wet weight: 75 g
• Sink rate: around 1 metre per second
• Running depth: around 3 to 8 metres

Built for deeper lakes and canals. The extra weight gets the lure down fast and allows a more aggressive retrieve or a vertical presentation.

Four interchangeable heads

One of the most useful features is the interchangeable head system. You can swap between four weights: 15 g, 30 g, 40 g and 50 g, and the heads fit all three versions, including the JNR.

That lets you adapt to your style and the conditions. Use it for:

• A steady retrieve over long distances
• Vertical jigging in deep water
• Sharpshooting with live sonar for pinpoint presentations

Handmade with smart materials

Each Crazy Rabbit is handmade from a blend of natural bucktail and synthetic fibres. That mix gives plenty of volume and movement in the water while keeping the wet weight low, so the lure casts smoothly and has a lifelike, pulsing action underwater.

It is ready to fish out of the box. The trailer hook lets you replace the tail with a softbait or a BIM Tackle ChaCha tail for a different action and profile.

How to fish the BIM Tackle Crazy Rabbit

The Crazy Rabbit can be fished in several ways, which makes it an all-season lure. Some effective techniques:

• Steady retrieve: a constant retrieve for a natural, pulsing motion
• Stop and go: short pauses during the retrieve often trigger extra bites
• Vertical jigging: drop it to the depth you want and lift it in a controlled motion

Whether you fish from the bank or from a boat, the Crazy Rabbit adapts to your setup and conditions.

Why the Crazy Rabbit is so popular

It combines the classic appeal of a bucktail with a modern, flexible design. Thanks to the interchangeable heads, the materials and the range of techniques it covers, it is a lure you can rely on in most seasons and water types.

Pros:

• Interchangeable heads for versatility
• Effective for pike, zander and perch
• Handmade and ready to fish out of the box
• Suitable for casting, vertical fishing and sharpshooting

Cons:

• Because of its size, it is less suitable for ultra light tackle

Final verdict

After fishing all three versions, we rate the Crazy Rabbit as one of the more versatile bucktails around. Shallow bays or deeper lakes, casting or vertical jigging, it covers a lot of ground.
