Default Crank Baits

I'm taking Andrews advice, I'll just keep throwing them. I never really
did much with crankbaits But I want to make them a "gotta have one tied
on"
lure . I felt the same way with jig's until this year, now you never see
me
go out without one tied on

When I was painting my own lures I purchased a lot of split rings and
treble hooks so I'll freshen them up and swing a bunch this fall and next
spring. Thanks again Doc!!!



Just remember Randy, the patterns involving crankbaits can be just as
detailed and specific as any other bait. A lot of folks just go slinging
them down a bank, and pay no attention to the details around catching a
bass. They continue down the bank, and don't catch another, and begin to
think that it was a fluke, or that they should immediately switch to another
bait. Paying close attention to that catch can definitely lead you to find
other fish holding on similar cover in similar areas or structure. I am not
advocating leaving fish, just reminding you that because you caught a fish
off a laydown with a crankbait, then slowed down to fish it with a worm,
don't forget to throw a crankbait at the next laydown!...

Good luck. Crankbaits can really perform when used in the right conditions!
