Summer Crankbaits That Keep Catching Fish During The Fall Transition!

The Fall transition is crankbait time! Today we're taking a quick look at some of the best baits for fishing through the transition as we approach Fall. As night time temperatures begin to drop, bass focus heavily on bait fish and these baits will help you capitalize! The best news is, this time of year doesn't require new baits, we'll show you how to adapt some of the baits you've already been fishing.

If you're not fishing crankbaits during this transition time, you're missing some of the easiest fish catches of the year. Bass are targeting baitfish from deep to shallow and covering water with a crankbait is an easy way to catch them. Focus your attention on baitfish colors with the occasional shad pattern mixed in, for the best success.

Below you'll find links to the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for each lure, as well as some great rod and reel combos for fishing these lures effectively.

Summer Crankbait Fishing - Everything You Need To Know!

Crankbait fishing in Summer is a great way to catch fish! Crankbaits catch fish from shallow to deep, and they'll catch giants too! If you want to take your crankbait fishing to the next level, we're here to help!

Crankbaits are an enormous category. There are hundreds of options on the market from magnum deep divers, to shallow square bills, and a variety of options in between. This time of year we focus our attention on the two ends of the spectrum. We throw magnum deep divers and shallow crankbaits more than all the other categories combined.
