Most bass anglers realize that flat-sided crankbaits can be fantastic bass catching baits when the water temps fall down into the mid 40s.
A rare few "bass-perts" also realize the "king" of cold water, flat-sided cranks, the Rapala Shad Rap, can excel even when water temps plummet into 30s!
One of those finesse crankin' experts is Ott Defoe who took the time to create an in-depth finesse crankbait fishing tutorial discussing:
- Types and sizes of bait
- Proper rod combo types and reel speeds
- Correct line type and size depending on fishing conditions
- Boat position and depth considerations
- Presentation depth, cast angles & more
Want to learn more?
Carve out about twenty minutes of your fishing prep time, get your notepad ready and listen to Ott detail his finesse cranking system for cold water bassin'
One thing to keep in mind. Ott intros this technique for February which works well if in the southeast.
If you live up north like me this system will most likely apply late March-early April once the ice cover vanishes ;)
