crank baits for summer

[dave60]

Hello I was just wondering what type and depth of crank baits are good this time of here on the chick

Shad and bass color work the best.... But for me when you actually locate a school of bass even if it is just a few it doesn't seem to matter what color it is. I think the depth and action it presents depends the most.

I really like the Rapala DT series but would like to try the Azuma line.

I like the H2O express square bills they work great. I fished bandits for years the but the h20s are half the price and catch fish. I have beem catching them on a h2o S model in sexy ghost color. I also like the bluegill color

I use the Rick Clunn Square Bill, love the action.

Lots of folks using the rc1.5s and the strike king 1.5s. Both great baits. I try not to get to caught up in colors but there is some purty crankbaits these days

Early 1.5 KVD square bill, later Berkley 8.5 digger, late, anything that goes 20' +.

Bass Pro Shops XPS Lazer Eye - Medium Crank. I fish them on fairly light line. I get a lot of action on Blue Back Chartreuse...Chartreuse Green Craw...Crawfish Boil...and Firetiger -- while bass are chasing bream on bed.

I bought a couple of the Azuma deep cranks... they are way easier to crank and they dive very deep with almost no effort. I like that part... I have yet to catch a fish on one though..... But that's probably not the baits fault.... I have been know to suck with multiple types of bait...

Now that we "finally" have some current a good summer ledge crank is a Bomber Fat Free Shad. I like to fish the big BD7's and BD8's. A long lightweight rod with a good backbone is a must. Just let 'em fly -- weeeeeeeeeeeee ! I took this pic of some of the crankbaits I used one day a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure how that swimbait snuck in there. emoScratch emoLaugh

Can't beat the ole DD22 Sexy Shad on most days.
