DEPS Evoke 1.2 Squarebill Crankbait – Shallow-Water Variant

Description

The Deps Evoke 1.2 Squarebill Crankbait is a meticulously crafted, shallow-diving crankbait designed to dominate heavy cover and trigger aggressive strikes from bass. Measuring 2.16 inches and weighing 3/8 oz, this Japanese-engineered crankbait dives to 3-4 feet with a tight, high-pitch wobbling action that excels in navigating bushes, laydowns, and vegetation.

The heavily curved body and robust squarebill ensure superior deflection and quick resurfacing after contact with obstacles, making it ideal for fishing tight strike zones typically reserved for jigs or Texas rigs. Equipped with a fixed weight system, the Evoke 1.2 delivers exceptional casting distance and accuracy, while its unique clicking sound produced during retrieve adds an irresistible auditory trigger for wary fish.

The bait features a #4 rear treble hook and a #6 front treble hook to minimize snags, ensuring uninterrupted performance in dense cover. With a textured body, ultra-realistic eyes, and 17 lifelike color patterns including Florida Blue, Black Back Shad, and Red Craw, it combines visual appeal with practical functionality. Tested by BASSMASTER Elite Pro Kenta Kimura at Lake Biwa, the Evoke 1.2 is a proven “catching tool” for shallow-water anglers seeking a fast, stress-free crankbait that outperforms in high-pressure environments.
