Laid Back Baits presents
The Drifter
A hand-finished squarebill crankbait in a lifelike bass pattern — built to deflect, hunt and get bit.
Our Story
One Bait. Done Right.
Laid Back Baits started at the kitchen table with a single goal: build one bait that actually gets bit when the fishing gets tough. After a full season of testing, The Drifter is it. Every one is painted, finished and checked by hand.
Featured Finish
Baby Bass
Olive back, dark lateral blotches, gold flanks and a pearl belly — under holographic scales, 3D eyes and a tough clear coat. It looks like the one thing every big bass eats: a smaller bass.

How To Fish It
Bang The Cover
Crank it down until it bumps rock or wood, then pause. That deflection and stall is when they eat. In cold water, slow it right down — fish it laid back.
