Ott’s Garage | Crankbait Diving Depth

For this Ott’s Garage tip I wanted to shed some light on picking a crankbait. I love to fish cranks and have had some success on them over the years. Also building baits has increased my knowledge of how the small details affect the action and depth you’ll get from them. I hope this video helps you understand crank baits a little better!

This is one of the coolest shares of info that I’ve found on KZbin!! So many questions answered and explained!! 👊🏻

[@rick4649]

Great info. I have a much better understanding of the design and actions of crank baits. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Love seeing you and the son, keep it up brotha

[@hoopsheavenpa]

Ott your knowledge and time you put into these videos is always appreciated!

[@douglasspickler4925]

I've been fishing crankbaits for many years and my favorite baits were Poes. When Rapala and David Fritts came out with the DT series they have become my favorites. Casting, colors and dive to depths are just outstanding. Shad Raps on Buggs Island are a mainstay along with the old Bomber Speed Shads. Thanks for the video Ott. Great information. Take care.

Great information Ott. I wasn't aware of some the reasoning for Bill angle versus line tie placement.

[@glenedwards3038]

Thank you Ott for all you give us.

The science and your attention to detail is amazing

[@lenclark6099]

I remember when Rebel Lures put the depth on the bills of their Rebel shallow, mid, and deep ( R’s ) !!!! I started putting the depth that the crank baits run under the chin area between the bill and first hook before placing in my tackle boxes, and the same on my jerk baits. Helps out when my fishing Buddy needs to use one and for myself also!!! Thanks for the info OTT !!!

[@clarynick]

Man I didn’t know they made a 20!! The deepest I can find is 16. DTs are definitely my favorite I’ve caught 5 fish over 7 this year on them. Thanks for expertise.

[@PythonDad]

Best bet to get them reliably is probably online. They definitely don't keep them in stock at most of the local in person places.

Excellent. Thanks Ott

[@martymartin7637]

Great video ott !

[@wesleymerritt1765]

Thanks Ott that was a good one

[@jenlvjim]

I don't know why more companies don't put the diving depth on the bill like the DT series

[@bidkid2020]

Can you use a swivel on a crankbait instead of tying directly on enjoyed your video lot of good information

[@mikebailey2119]

Ott, this is some great information on crankbaits. How long did it take you to get the OG slim the way you wanted it? Is the Tiny the same only a smaller version? I haven't seen the Tiny at my cabelas yet.🎣🐟

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Only a couple tries really. It’s close in action but a good bit smaller. It will be first of the year I’m guessing before you see them in stores.

[@mikebailey2119]

@@OttDeFoeFishing I went to cabelas in Rogers Arkansas again today and they didn't have Tiny. Now I know why. Thanks for for letting me know it won't be for a while yet.

[@cframe571]

Ott, what kind of rod do you throw your deep diving crank baits on? Med. Heavy? I imagine a 7ft 5, or similar?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Bass Pro cranking stick. 7’6” MH is my pick.

[@ericbrandon6504]

What’s going on Ott!

[@bartharris7342]

What about the slim 6

[@bassingman9911]

I think he has a video on the OG slim by itself.
