ike8120 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I know everyone has their favorites. Looking for some suggestions for some crank baits to get started with. My fishing is 99.9% from the shore small farm ponds,some lakes and the local reservoir. Also can through in a few jerk baits. Quote
junyer357 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Strike king kvd or luck e strike 1.5 n 2.5 (0-5') Norman middle n (7-9') Luck e strike rc jerkbaits Those are pretty good without breaking the bank. Pick some natual shad, a few brighter like chart/black, and a few red/craw and go from there. 1 Quote

Jelvas Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 There are lots of great crankbaits in the market, the ones that follow are the ones i use the most: SQUAREBILLS -Storm Arashi -Lucky Craft 1.5 -Megabass S crank -Sakura Bomba Crank SHALLOW DIVERS (round bill) -Rapala DT4 and DT6 -Spro Little John MD MEDIUM DIVERS -Rapala DT10 -Strike King 3XD and 6XD -Yokozuna Cruz 70 (this one i doubt you will be able to find it in the US) DEEP DIVERS (these ones you obviously won´t be trowing them from the bank but just fyi) -Rapala DT16 and DT20 -Strike King 8XD -Killer Kraft Deep Monster 800 (also doubtful to be found in the US) LIPLESS -Spro Aruku Shad -Rapala Rippin Rap -Duo Vibration 68 1 Quote
Dirtyeggroll Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Throwing crankbaits from the bank you are going to lose a lot of them. If you’re not hit stuff you’re missing a lot of potential bites, and if you’re hitting stuff you’re gonna snag. I’d stick with stuff on the cheap side. Good luck! 2 Quote
tander Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Your best bet would be Bandits, they are cheap and they catch fish. 2 Quote
BoatSquirrel Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 As for jerkbaits, Rapala X-Raps are unbeatable for the price. 3 1/4” and 4” sizes. Grab a Rapala Husky Jerk or 2 for shallow water. 1 Quote
punch Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 KVD 1.5's seem like a great place to start if you're bank fishing. Anything deeper is just gonna cause you headaches. 1 Quote
