Lipless Crankbait Tricks You Need To Try!! ( Stop Losing Fish! )

Lipless Cranks are amazing!! Today we're showing you all the tricks you need to know! These crankbaits catch great numbers of fish and they catch giant bass too! They can be hopped, ripped, or steady retrieved in open water, around cover, or along the bottom. With so many ways to fish them its easy to get lost, but not after today!

The lipless is one of our favorite bass fishing techniques. It shines in the Spring and Fall but can catch fish any time of year. Our two main methods are hopping the baits on bottom (what we're doing today) and steady retrieving them in the middle of the water column. The two methods utilize completely different baits and today we're explaining why.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for each, the rods and reels we use to fish them effectively, and the components we upgrade to keep our fish hooked. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Speed Cranking Tricks For Fall And Winter Bass!

This is the future of crankbait fishing! Don't miss the boat! Speed cranking is completely changing how anglers fish in the Fall and Winter! We used to think of the cold water months as slow periods but not anymore. Grab a speed crank, a high speed reel, and burn up that cold water! Let's go!!

The concept of triggering a feed response in a bass is not new, but the reality of being able to do it in the coldest water temperatures of the year is amazing! Winter fishing is a lot more fun when you're burning a bait instead of finesse fishing. Not only will this method of fishing catch bass all Winter, it is capable of catching the biggest bass in the lake!
