Banshee

The Banshee from Livingston Lures is not just another crankbait, it’s the future of downsized presentations. Designed by musky and pike expert Steven Paul, the Banshee blends traditional crankbait power with advanced features that push it into a category of its own. At its core, the Banshee delivers a wicked wide wobble that calls in muskies and pike, whether you’re casting or trolling. But where it truly stands apart is in its suspending behavior during the pause. Thanks to a cleverly designed removable weighting system, anglers can utilize multiple rise rates, unlocking unmatched versatility across depths, seasons, and presentations. The Banshee can be fished with a straight retrieve, rod sweeps, or twitch stop sequences but its true strike power is unleashed in the pause, where it suspends and hovers in place. Combined with Livingston Lures’ EBS™ (Electronic Baitfish Sound) Technology and advanced forward facing sonar optimization, the Banshee doesn’t just imitate prey...it becomes a catalyst for strikes.

STEVEN PAUL PRO TIP: Pro Tip: Use a twitch pause retrieve and experiment with different weight configurations until the lure achieves the desired rise rate. In cold water or when fish are following but not committing, longer pauses often produce the biggest strikes. The Banshee’s ability to hover naturally while emitting EBS™ baitfish sounds can trigger aggressive reactions from fish that have tracked the lure for several feet.
