Crankbaits

Crankbaits are very easy lures to use. You fish them in a basic cast & reel method. They come in different depth arrangements. You'll notice the ones with bigger spoons(lips) are deep divers. Some even come with a square looking lip which are predominantly used for top or near-top water action. The best way to retrieve them for largemouth bass is a stop and go retrieve. Use brightly colored lures in muddy or stained water. Also, in low visibility water use crankbaits with rattles in them. Fish these lures close to cover, but watch out, the treble hooks hanging off of it can cause snags.
