    I don't see why it wouldn't work. A weight in front of a crankbait will make it run deeper than if you used the Adjusta Bubble. So I guess it depends on how deep you want the bait to run.

    BTW: When I lived in New England (Mass & NH) I used that same bobber for everything for which I fished. I remember a day on the Nissitissit when we found a school of Yellow Perch and tore them up with yellow foam spiders about 2' behind the bubble. Two of us must have had 100 fish on in an hour or so. Fun times.

    That might be an added feature. The lure runs 6-8' deep. If I should find the fish in 6 fow, then I SHOULD be able to adjust the casting bubble to keep the dive to less than 6'. This is just an experiment. A couple fellow crappie guys swear that this body of water's crappie will only hit jigs. I am out to prove them wrong on Saturday.

    The experiment is now over. We started the day finding fish on flats in 7 and a 1/2 fow. I adjusted the bubble to only allow a 4ft dive. 17 crappie later we were forced to move off the flats into deeper water where the double jig rig took over. At the end of the day the ratio of jigs vs bubble/crankbait was about 50-50. That casting bubble and crank setup helped us get the firts place trophy and payout. YES IT DOES HAVE A USE WITH CRANKBAITS!
