These little crankbaits are great for banging up against rocks and logs where fish often like to hang out and are notorious for their ability to be fished in tight corners where most cranks would get hung up and busted. Squarebills are extremely versatile, they can be fished around docks, rip-rap, pile-ons, laydowns, and brushpiles. It is best to throw a squarebill when you are positive the fish are feeding on baitfish or other live fish prey. Once you’ve been able to tell whether or not the fish are feeding on baitfish your next step is to determine what kind of baitfish the bass are feeding on. This step is important and plays a huge role in choosing the right color and style of squarebill as it is for any type of crankbait fishing. An example of this would be to research what kind of fish species inhabit the lake you plan on fishing. 167
