Description

The T.D. Hyper Crank 1052Ti is the compact shallow-water specialist of the original Team Daiwa Titan Lip Evolution Bass System - a 50mm crankbait designed to dive quickly to 2 metres and trace long, reaching the productive zone faster than any conventional plastic-lipped crankbait of the same size. Where the 1066Ti plunges to 6 metres for deep reservoir fishing, the 1052Ti is the bank angler's and shallow structure specialist - designed to punch to depth quickly and trace the strike zone efficiently in the 1–2 metre range where shore fishing bass hold. Like all Titan Lip lures the titanium leaf lip generates a high-appeal action fundamentally different from plastic lip lures, with a 2-way action system selecting Active Wide Action or Slow Tight Action by repositioning the split ring. This example carries the original Team Daiwa logo with pink triangle - the founding era packaging from Daiwa Seiko's Higashikurume, Tokyo facility when all Hyper Crank Ti production was still Made in Japan.

The B-1 colourway is the first entry in the Hyper Crank Ti's B colour series - a vivid chartreuse-yellow base with dark olive-green tiger spot markings and a vivid blue iridescent eye, presenting as a high-visibility reaction colour for stained water, overcast conditions, and situations where natural baitfish patterns lose their presence.
