By Jon B. Jon is an avid angler currently bsaed in Ohio, USA I t’s safe to say the majority of bass anglers have heard of crankbaits. Most of which vary in all styles, depths, and sizes that come into play during specific points in the bass fishing season. Each type of crank plays a vital role for an angler and is designed for certain situations whether it be during the early frigid spring months or right before the summer leaves fall from their branches. Unfortunately not all cranks produce the same results, in fact it’s key that an angler uses specific types of cranks in order to match different fishing patterns. Thankfully there are a variety of crankbait styles making it easier for angler to choose the correct lure for the appropriate fishing applications. A prime example of a few specific styles of crankbaits that tends to land fish all throughout the bass fishing season are square bill crankbait, lipless crankbaits, and deep diving crankbait. 163
