Crankbaits – a broad classification of lures manufactured and designed to emulate bait fish that predatory fish feed on. Some common characteristics of crankbaits are:
- a wooden (usually balsa) or hard plastic body
- a front section that usually includes an eyelet for tying on the line and possibly a lip/bill that determines depth or wobble, or an attachment that enables action, vibration, flash, or sound
- one or more treble hooks distributed along the body and usually a trailing treble hook which acts as a tail
- painted or imprinted features that resemble the eyes, gills and other body parts of bait fish.
Why use crankbaits?
Crankbaits are one of the most popular lures used by bass anglers. One of the main reason they’ve become so popular in tournaments is their ability to cover a lot of water, fast. Crankbaits are usually constructed with various lips or bills, helping them reach depths they’re specifically designed for. They also have different actions and traits.
