new way to use crankbait?

[fishing man]

so i was fishing with my uncle and he brought up a new way to use a crankbait, and i was wondering if any of you have used it or think it would work. could you  use a crankbait kinda like a jerkbait?

[BIG M]

sure you can, it's a very productive method to fish a shallow running crank just under the surface.

Yes, that is how I fish shad raps but instead of a hard jerk just use a pulling motion on the rod.

yeah thats a pretty darn common way of fishing a crankbait. alot of times i'll reel it in, then just kill it, twitch it some, and get bit then.

Yea man; I like using a shallow Bagley's or a Shad Rap this way ! Slow wide wobble or a seireis of stop and goes, I have had limited sucess doing this. I probablly would have more if I used this presentation more, it works

Tight wobblers are excellent with slight jerks while cranking. I recommend you pick up some Daiwa Peanut crankbaits. This is by far the crankbait I jerk the most while cranking due to its very aggressive tight wobble that responds very well to slight jerks. Did I mention how productive it is? Try one and I bet you anything youll be buying more. Whoever it was that mentioned the Shad Rap is right to thats another good crank, legendary actually.

This isnt really a new method but a tactic thats been used by many crankbait users both beginer and advanced for years.

thanks everyone for the replys, when i wrote that it was a new way i was wondering if anyone uses it because i have never heard of it (when i talk bout crankbaits all i have ever been told it just real in).

Hey Gameover; Do you know any wooden tight wobblers that can be used this way?

Muddy, any of the flat sided baits with short lip will work.  I'm really a bit biased but the baits I build out of 3/8 thick stock work really well with this tech.

That's the best way to fish the Megabass Flap Slap!

Storm suspend strips or dots can turn any crankbait into a suspending jerkbait.

Here's a freebie.

Pickup some floating Rat-L-Traps, add suspend dots, you've now got a suspending Trap.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

The first time I did this was with a big O.  I had cast it to the bank and it landed in a beautiful spot.  It was tucked into this small cut in the bank.

I decided to just let sit a few moments.  Before I started my retrieve I "popped" it once.    KA-SPLOOSH!!

It was an explosive topwater strike.

The bass was a chunky 3 lber and I was hooked.

I'm trying to take the time to keep everyone on the edge of their computer chair with each and every post from now on.
