Crankbait Fishing
Crankbait Fishing
By Jeff Hendrix
Crankbait comes in a large variety of size and color, so selecting what crankbait to use can be overwhelming. Because of their realistic look they attract a lot of strikes, and work best in times when fish would naturally be eating. Crankbait are very effective because fish like the noise they create when moving under water. It is important for some crankbait to hit things as the move along to give them a natural movement and to attract strikes.

Crankbaits can be found for any depth of fishing, from the top of the water to the floor of the lake. The larger and longer the crankbait is the deeper the bait will go down. Ask local fisherman what the colors the local fish like and experiment until you find what works best.
In clear water it is usually best to use more subdued colors and in murky waters or at night using brighter colors, but don’t be afraid to experiment.
When choosing the size of the crankbait to use, the easiest rule to follow is to buy them the size of the food that the fish you are trying to catch would eat. If you are going to fish very deep you will have to use the larger ones to reach the depth.
When using crankbait it is very important to keep the hooks very sharp and to make sure that they run straight when under water. Crankbaits rods should have medium to slow action, meaning that the rod bends near the middle. The slow action helps the crankbait be cast out farther and keeps the hooks from being torn out of the fish’s mouth when you are reeling them in.
Make sure your rod is able to handle heavy bait and has a good backbone.

Most anglers use a reel with a lower gear ratio to add power and to insure that the hook is not pulled out of the fish. It is also important that your reel has enough room to handle the line needed for the long deep casts that some crankbait require.
