Summer Crankbait Fishing - Everything You Need To Know!
Crankbait fishing in Summer is a great way to catch fish! Crankbaits catch fish from shallow to deep, and they'll catch giants too! If you want to take your crankbait fishing to the next level, we're here to help!
Crankbaits are an enormous category. There are hundreds of options on the market from magnum deep divers, to shallow square bills, and a variety of options in between. This time of year we focus our attention on the two ends of the spectrum. We throw magnum deep divers and shallow crankbaits more than all the other categories combined.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits we throw, along with the gear we use to fish them. We've included our favorite rods and reels, as well as some of the hooks and split rings we use to upgrade hardware on these baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
