Fall Crankbait Fishing Tricks You've Never Tried! Speed Cranking (Beginner To Advanced)
Today we're diving into the world of Fall crankbait fishing! From "Speed Cranking" with deep diving crankbaits for Fall and Winter bass, to square bills and lipless crankbaits, we're covering it all! We've included everything from beginner basics, up to the most advanced details of color, cadence, and fish location. If you want to take your crankbait fishing to the next level, this video is for you!
Speed cranking involves specialized crankbaits designed to be fished at high rates of speed, to trigger a feed response in bass. It works from September through February, even in the coldest water temperatures. You no longer have to slow fish with finesse baits in Fall and Winter, it's time to power fish your way to a new personal best!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. We've included his favorite models, best colors, as well as hook and hardware upgrades. We've also included links to the rod and reel combos discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
