Thread: Crank baits in Florida

I fish north Florida regular. I found the black crappie don't respond to the crank baits as good as whites. Catfish love them.

I've used them with limited success. What I tried were smaller cranks, but the treble hooks were smaller too, so I felt I lost too many while reeling them in trolling. I switched to double rigging jigs.

What slab said for me too.

Thanks guys.
I picked up a few and will try them in some of the deeper spots on the river and see what happens.
I’ll let y’all know.

Cool, let us know. Cause I do like pulling cranks.

Sunshine bass have been known to hit the smaller crankbaits. I have tried them but I seem to always gom up my hooks with some sort of slimy green gunk. Tight Lines.

JJ, yea the sunnies and Shad will smack cranks pretty good.
Catfish too.
I’m hoping for some success with them but we’ll see.

I like to pull a small rattle trap behind the boat while I long line. Never can tell what you might come up with .
