Matt I just want to thank you for what you n Tim do for us. No one else sits down and takes this much time to share stuff so we don't have to go out and break the bank to figure all this stuff out. Thanks again bro

[@todddickinson3262]

I noticed while reading the comments that Matt and Tim are the only content creators I have ever seen respond to the initial comment, and then the follow up if the original commentor asks a follow up question!! If anyone ever has a question about Tim and Matt’s integrity, I would point to this video, and tell them to see for themselves. Without question the two most in depth, genuinely passionate angling educators to be found.

If you get KZbin Premium you can start the video, then turn the screen off on your phone and it continues playing like a podcast/music app/etc. It's the main reason I use premium, plus no ads and free downloads for when you don't anticipate having cell service. Just an option if you feel like paying the $12/month. Best $12 I spend on any video/entertainment service by far.

This was one of the best videos you ever made, 12 to 16ft is the edge of where bass can see to hunt and feel safe was perfect. I found this technique accidentally when rapala came out with dt10.

So many nuances to cranking... I dedicated myself to learning as much as possible this year about "cranking" I had alot of break throughs this year but this video just made me realize that I'm missing a huge part of cranking in my game... I was ready to kinda get in to my slow winter fishing mode but Matt dropped this and here we go now I'm looking at a specific rod... I dont have a lipless rod im thinking of that crossover rod... thx TB

[@tacticalbassin]

You will LOVE that cross over rod 👊

[@jaystrobel5258]

Great information as always! I have been speed cranking since I 1st heard you guys talking about it and have caught a ton of bass and many other species of fish. This summer, I caught my biggest largemouths speed cranking. It truly opened my eyes a few winters ago. It was late December, extremely cold out, water temps were around mid to low 40s and I was fishing for stripers. I was trolling in deep, open water with cranks. My trolling speed was about 2.5mph and I was catching largemouths. I couldn't believe how fast the largemouth were able to react to the baits. I was raised on the notion that you have to SLOW DOWN in the winter because the bass won't exert themselves as much. I'm here to tell you that is not always the case. I have witnessed it 1st hand. Great video.

[@ssoutdoors9828]

I’ve never been dedicated to fish a crank bait, but I decided to get a cranking-specific rod to help encourage myself to fish them more. I went to a riprap dam and did your “burn burn burn pause” technique to catch a few nice ones. Thanks for your tips! They definitely work

[@gregblake8810]

I whole heartedly agree. For me cold air and water here in georgia in nov. - feb. I throw deep diving cranks. It was shown to me by a fellow fisherman. Try to hit anything, stop it let it back up and float that's when a reaction bite happens. I've had ice on my eyelets and the fish behaved like it never was a factor. I realized the slow down, creep it, lethargic fish is no where an absolute. It opened my eyes.

Exactly! Greg you are way ahead of the curve!

[@chaseD707]

I had never thrown any kind of deeper style cranks until about 6 months ago when I got my first boat and my closest lake has a ton of deep deep water. That’s when I fell in love with deep cranking it absolutely slays mondo smallies even hits big big walleye by accident I love it I just went out and bought every speed slash deep crank you guys recommend but my favorites so far are the tactical crank for sure and the mega bass deep six and deep x 300. I also like a good flat sided crank gives a lot tighter wobble

I unintentionally ran into this technique about a month ago and caught my PB smallmouth of 6.1 at Mille Lacs. Ever since then I've been trying to figure out why I got that bite. With this video I pieced the puzzle together and found out the cadence, hg reel, and deep x 300 was why lol. I've been looking into more cranks that have a tighter wobble and sound and found the O.S.P Blitz EX DR and MAX DR cranks work pretty well also.

I don’t throw crank baits much because they pull my kayak out of position if I high speed crank. I tend to troll them on 12-15 pound mono behind me, and I fish a shallow on one side and a deep on the other if I’m dedicated to trolling. I caught a fish yesterday with an 8’ diving vexan going 3-4 mph in 48 degree water. Went over a school of bait and the rod doubled over!

I went with your budget recommendation for rod and reel combo from your last jerkbait video. I received it last Friday and went out on the Kanawha River here in Charleston Wv, the fishing can be really tough here. I only had a couple of hours to fish but wanted to test the rod and reel. I loved it, very light-weight and smooth. I could feel and see the difference in my jerkbait action. I caught a small largemouth then followed it with a nice striped bass. The rod handled it just fine. I appreciate the recommendation and would recommend others to try it. The rod made a difference.

Man this video gets me fired up a lot like the jerk bait video. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fishing cold weather bassin. Idea on swapping those treble hooks. If you don't have split ring plyers (like me most of the time) I've learned that once you get the ring open and start the hook coming off, go ahead and slide the new hook eye into the gap. It will follow the other eye around and snap in while the old one comes off. That way there is no need to bend a fingernail out the 2nd time..LOL THANKS again for the awesome info on you videos.
