Cranks are crazy versatile. I use small ones in shallow water,
square billed ones cast into laydowns, stumps are really effective.I never leave the dock without a small crank usually a Luckycraft Flat Mini DR, which is about the size of a Bandit 200 and runs 4-6 feet deep. If you use a crankbait rod, you can get away with throwing into cover. These rods have slower actions that allow you to feel cover before snagging it so you can pause and let the lures "worm" their way through cover. :oI catch them all over the country in temps from 38 to 90 degrees.
