Thread: Caught a Few Using A Little Crankbait

I’ve been trying out some little crank baits out on the river and at the small creek near the house. Throwing them on 4lb mono using a Daiwa Revros LT 1000 and a Pflueger Trion 20B. Both on L/UL rods.

I’ve never tried crank baits until this week. I actually bought a couple to try trolling for crappie at the lake. Hadn’t gotten around to using them, so I made myself tie one on while I was out in a kayak on the river.

Within a few casts, lucked out and landed 3 smallmouth bass. Needless to say, I went to the store and bought several more to try. They are the Arkie 220 crank baits. Walmarts in my area sell them for a little over $2 each.

The bluegill, red breast, and rock bass have been lighting them up, as well. These things are a blast to fish. A few pics below. I will also post a couple of videos on my YouTube channel over the next week or so. Had a few good trips using these.

Can’t wait to see how the crappie react to them. Fingers crossed!
