Crankbait Tricks For Late Summer And Early Fall!

Crankbaits are great in the Late Summer and Early Fall! Today we're going to show you the 4 styles that work the best and how to apply them to your fishing. From speed cranking, to ultra-shallow water, to the deepest depths, we can help you catch more fish with crankbaits in the coming weeks!

The transition from Summer to Fall happens overnight. As night time temperatures begin to fade a sudden change happens in your lake. Fish instantly turn their attention to hard structure and baitfish. The crankbait is a great choice to catch fish as this transition happens. With 1000s of crankbaits hanging on store shelves, it can be really overwhelming to know where to start. Luckily, we've identified 4 key styles and some basic colors that will make all the difference!

Below you'll find links to every bait Matt discussed in the video. We've included the exact models, favorite colors, as well as some of the gear the guys use to fish these baits consistently. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
