airborne_angler Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Im talking about regular crankbaits,shaped like all other fish imitating crankbaits. The question I have is if a Crawfish swims backwards,then why do tackle manufacturers make crawfish cranks that appear to be swimming forward. Whats the reasoning behind this and why is it successful? Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted May 30, 2009 Super User Posted May 30, 2009 don't know but this last fall i caught most of my(crankbait) fish off of that color crankbait . Quote
aarogb Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I don't think it really matters. I believe that as long as it is digging into the bottom and it has a paint scheme of a crawfish I honestly believe that the bass don't notice which way it is swimming. Quote
1inStripes Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Their simply working with the shape of the bait. Quote
Willzx225 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 They may swim backwards but they crawl forwards Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 And then you have these.... Rebel Craws Koppers All of then catch fish. Quote
bmadd Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Unless you're just stitching the bait across the bottom I don't think it really matters where the eyes or claws are located. As long as the fish are eating dads' and you're in the right spot, a crank that mimics the colors of those dads will catch those fish. It's a reaction bait and they don't have the time to count segment lines or locate the eyes and claws, they either eat or don't. Quote
