Crankbaits

Crankbaits are lures with a plastic lip that dives underwater when it is reeled in. Crankbaits are used to target fish at specific depths. The length and angle of the plastic lip is what determines the depth that the bait can reach. Longer, less-angled, lips dive deeper than short, sharp-angled, lips. Crankbaits are fish catching machines because they can effectively cover water. Your goal is to cast and retrieve crankbaits across large areas of water to maximize your coverage. Cranks entice bites through a wiggling action that can mimic a baitfish, crawfish, or a fry game fish.
