Bass fishings lures and tackle is just a click away.

Crank Baits

Crankbait is one of the most popular and effective lures for bass fishing. This is largely because these lures mimic minnows and other natural bass forage, but they also can be cast long distances and allow anglers to cover large amounts of water as they search for bass. Crankbaits come in a variety of sizes. Some run just a foot or two below the surface of the water, while others run down to 20 feet or more.

When bass are spread over large areas, a crankbait is a good choice because the lure allows you to cover large amounts of water and find active fish. Bass also tend to congregate on the edges of beds of vegetation, drop-offs and ledges, and a crankbait retrieved in those areas will trigger bass to bite. Cast from a variety of angles (along the edge or up and down the edge, for example) to determine what works best. A crankbait also is good around rocks and timber, especially when it is used to bump into such cover. It will ricochet off, and the erratic motion causes bass to bite.

Recommended Crank Baits

The depth at which a crankbait will run depends on the size and angle of its bill. A longer bill catches more water and means the bait runs deeper, while a shorter bill keeps the bait closer to the surface. Color is a matter of choice, though it often is best to stick with a crankbait that looks something like the forage in the body of water in which you are fishing. Crankbaits are effective in water depths up to about 20 feet. When choosing a crankbait, choose one that runs a foot or two deeper than the water depth in which you are fishing.
