Tips on Using Crankbaits

you pull the Inflatable Disney Princess Castle Jumper lure retriev back with the heavi line. You will get about 95% of your snag bait back with a lure retriever. Thei cost between $10 to $15 and I have save over a thousand dollar in lure over the years. That make it a veri good investmentOn more veri import piec of equip for the seriou crankbait is a lure retriever. Thi is a heavi lead weight with wire loop that attach to your line and dangl chains. The weight is connect to a heavi retriev line. You loop the weight onto your fish line and slide it down to the snag crankbait. When you knock your lure off the snag..

Crankbait can be on of the most product bait you can fish. I discov how product crankbait can be sever year ago. Crankbait ar veri versatil and can be us in mani situat and under a varieti of conditions.

Prop Equipment

12 lb. test green low-vi line,Th rig I like to us for crankbait is a 7 ft medium action rod. and a good qualiti baitcast reel.

medium action Team All Star rod. The blank is IM10 graphite. When you crankbaiting,Mi favorit crankbait rod is a 7 ft.. you want to us a medium action rod. A heavier action will rip the bait out of the fish' mouth. The 7 foot rod is great for two reasons. Number one, you get great cast distanc with the 7 foot rod. Number two, you get a great hook set with the longer rod. I will talk about hook set later. If you ar fish in a tight situation, such as around docks, trees, or boat docks, then a 6 foot rod is better. Cast around cover with a shorter rod is easier than with a long rod. But most of the time, you ar not fish in a tight situat with a crankbait, the longer rod is better. The longer the cast, the more water you cover.

a medium speed retriev will produc the most bass. That is not to sai that there ar time when burn the lure will produc fish. I believ those time ar the exception,The reel I us is an Abu Garcia? Ambassadeur? C3 Classic Round Baitcast with a 5.3:1 gear ratio. I don't think it is necessari to have a high speed reel. A high gear ratio mai caus you to retriev the lure too fast. Most of the time. not the rule. Also keep in mind that there ar time when a slow retriev is in order, which is difficult to achiev with a high gear ratio reel. The 5.3:1 gear ratio will suit your need a major of the time. I have done some modif to my reel. I have ad ceram bearing, which make a huge differ in cast distance. I have also replac the worm gear the part that move your line back and forth on the spool with a ball bear worm gear and ceram pawl. I also replac the stock idler gear with a ball bear idler gear. In addition, I replac the handl with a longer handle.

12 lb. test line is a good choic for crankbaits. Twelv lb. test is a good trade-off between strength and dive depth. There ar two problem with us heavier line. For one,Most of the time. you will sacrific how deep your bait will dive. Secondly, heavi line make nois that the bass can hear, which can affect how mani fish you catch. There ar situat that heavi line is in order. If you ar fish around brush, then move up to 17 lb test line is appropriate. However, as a rule of thumb, try to stick with 12 lb. test. And alwai us low-vis line, such as the green color. There is no reason to us floresc high-vis line when throw a crankbait.
