Surface Cranking for Bass?

Do you ever have moments when you're looking for a different power presentation around shallow or  submerged grass?

I know I have and there is one type of bait that I have never even thought of using even though it's been around for decades. 

The wakebait is one lure that can definitely "fit the bill".

And since you normally fish it on a steady or slightly erratic retrieve, it's almost like you're surface cranking for bass :)

Take a moment and listen to bass pro John Cox explain how he uses a wakebait to trigger explosive strikes as he probes the grass flats...

Ready to try the wakebait for shallow cranking?

Rig one up on your favorite rod & braided line, cast around shallow cover, start cranking and hold on!
