Summer To Fall: These Crankbaits Keep Catching Fish!

This is crankbait time! Here's what you need to know! Tim is breaking down the best baits for Summer Bass Fishing, as well as the baits that will carry over into Fall. Bass love to ambush their prey, and these baits trigger that feed response, no matter how deep your fish are. From extra deep, to dirt shallow, these are the baits we count on when its HOT outside!

If you're not fishing crankbaits during Summer and early Fall, you're missing some of the easiest fish catches of the year. Bass are targeting baitfish from deep to shallow. Covering water with a crankbait is an easy way to catch them. Focus your attention on baitfish colors and bold reaction colors 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. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
