I fished the Black Label Wreck (River Bream and Gizzard Foil) this year and caught a ton of fish on it. I might pick up a downsized offering. Which is better? The Peanut or the Wreck Jr?

If you like the Wreck, the Peanut is nothing like it. The Peanut is a smaller, 1/4oz flat bait, not a fat squarebill.

Sounds like a good bait when the bite is tough.

Get both!  I think the peanut= WEC Mutt, which is a 'hall of fame' bait IMO.  They would both be excellent post spawn/bluegill spawn cranks.

The peanut is similar to the WEC mutt and is a drastically different bait than wreck. Dives a touch deeper and has a tighter action. I really like the peanut. The wreck jr is just a miniature version of the wreck which is similar to the WEC E-1. I've used the wreck for a couple years now and really like it. I have used the JR but prefer other companies sub 2in wood baits.
