Crankbaits FAQ
What are the best crankbaits for bass?
Choosing the best crankbait for your specific conditions is going to boil down to a handful of factors, like water clarity, temperature, season, and the types of cover you're fishing. While there is no single bait that will satisfy every situation, there are a handful of brands that are known for their crankbaits and offer a great starting point, like Strike King, SPRO, Rapala, and Megabass.
When is the best time to use crankbaits?
Crankbaits are effective year-round when bass are holding near the bottom or around structure, but specific styles excel as seasonal conditions change. In spring, shallow, aggressive squarebill crankbaits shine, while summer calls for extra-deep diving crankbaits to reach bass seeking deeper water, and fall success depends on matching crankbait size and action to available forage. During winter, slow-moving, tight-wobbling flat-sided crankbaits trigger bites from cold, lethargic bass..
Which crankbait should I use for my conditions?
The first variable you want to focus on when choosing a crankbait is the depth. Find a crankbait that will reach the bottom/cover wherever the fish are located. Next, look for a color and action that pairs to your water clarity and available forage. In dirty water reach for bright or solid color crankbait to allow fish to easily locate your bait. In clear, cold water, a slower more subdued action and naturalized color pallet is going to conjure bites. When water temperature is warming, look for a crankbait with more action and that can be fished quicker. In colder water, reach for a slower, less boisterous plug to put fish in the boat.
