FAQ

What kind of fish do you catch with crankbait?

Crankbait lures are truly multi-purpose and versatile fishing items that can be used to catch a wide variety of fish regardless of what type of water they inhabit and how deep they live. So whether you are going after a largemouth bass or mullet fish, cold water or warm water fish - a crankbait lure would be your staple.

What kind of fish you catch with crankbait lures depends on what type of crankbait lure you will choose.

Crankbait lures vary in terms of size, weight, lip (if it’s a lure with a lip) shape, weight and size, and how deep your lure will sink depends on these parameters. For deep water fishing choose deep diving crankbaits and vice versa.

Another aspect to look for is the colour of your crankbait, as certain fish are attracted to certain colours, and some lure colours work better in specific weather conditions and lighting.

How do you use a crankbait?

First of all, you need to choose what kind of fish you want to catch and choose the crankbait accordingly. You can choose shallow, medium and deep diving crankbaits, depending on how deep you need your lure to sink.

You rig your crankbait just like any other lure and cast it out. Shallow and medium diving crankbaits are really easy to manoeuvre around bottoms with structure, like, for example, rock and weed, because even the hooks of the lure don’t get stuck in these covers. Deep diving crankbait lures are a little bit harder to manage, especially if you are a beginner to fishing. But with some practice, you will find a perfect technique that will work for you.

Crankbaits generally should be worked at higher speed, because that way the sudden, natural-looking movements will instantly attract fish. After you hit the bottom, try to move your rod quickly with sudden stops and enjoy the results.

Are crankbaits good for bass?

Crankbaits are a universal type of lure - they can be used for a multitude of fish species in different waters and at a variety of depths. Bass can be easily caught on a crankbait lure. It is an especially good type of lure for this fish, because anglers are able to cover a bigger area in a shorter period of time. Since the structure of the crankbait lure makes it easy to manoeuvre in the water with tricky covers like rock and weed, these lures are often used to spot bass in unfamiliar water.
