Hi, I am Captain Steve Chaconas with National Bass Guide Service. We showed you how to use lures like topwater lures, but now lets scratch the surface a little bit and go a little bit deeper.
We use crankbaits. These are the baits that we cast and then we retrieve and we crank them back to the boat. A short lip like this that will allow the bait only to go about a foot or less. This is a great bait; it doesnt get snagged that much, and when it does, you can go and get it because it is only about a foot beneath the surface. Just tie it on and crank it. It is perfect; it doesnt get snagged that much and anybody can use it. When you get a little more advanced you could go to bigger baits that have bigger lips, something that dives a little bit deeper like this bait. You can see that the lip on this bait is designed much longer, allows that bait to dive much deeper, can get down into some heavier cover and deeper water so you catch some bigger fish. But start with the smaller one, because the smaller bait is going to be much easier to handle, much easier for you to use. Crankbaits, they are lot of fun, but they can cost a lot of money. So, learn how to use them and be careful. Go out there and have a good time. Coming up next, we are going to go with another bait that will go a little bit deeper and could cover some water for you, the spinnerbaits.
