The Top 4 Deep Diving Crankbaits Of All-Time (And Why)

[@danham3344]

Elijah looks older with a mustache! 🤣. I don’t know how you kept a straight face Randy. I was cracking up the entire video. He’s NEVER a distraction. Love seeing your family in the vids. Speaking of family, still keeping your Dad and family in my prayers.

[@owenzmortgage8273]

Exactly the right time to find this video, crank bait is fun.

[@paintergonefishing7933]

Hope your dad has a speedy recovery

[@denissijecic5164]

Listening to your advice has made me a much better fisherman. I started bass fishing and joined a club less then a year ago here in florida. Today i am 16th in a club of 50 anglers and a lot if that success i can atribute to your advice. Thank you Randy. And best wishes for your dad.

[@RyanCook55]

Every time I listen to one of your videos always give me something that I never thought about and again I never thought about profiles round versus flat sided etc. great stuff thanks again Green

[@dustinlittrell89]

Nice break down, and your boy is getting g big. He’ll be helping you with those videos soon!

[@michaelloucks4448]

Thanks Randy for the deep cranking tips where all praying for you and your dad . God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

[@guyb5333]

Elijah wants to get in the video also. Really cute, reminds me of when I my children were little. I remember catching crayfish with my children like the one video you did with your children. Great times when they're so curious about everything when they're young.

[@billycroan1992]

So raw and uncut content from a real pro. Thanks randy!!!!!

[@notsogood6249]

Love the video and tips. I too enjoy fishing with different style of crankbaits. Since making a switch to using crankbaits more , I have seen more bass in my boat. I still enjoy fishing with jigs, swimbaits, and other baits. I just want to make myself a well rounded fisherman.

[@jeffrichardson8466]

Stopped by BaitWrx last week on my way though Springfield. Thanks for talking about them. I loved the place and will be ordering from them in the future.

[@billkern2753]

Thanks Randy. I hope your father continues to improve..

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Luhr Jensen Hot Lipps Express is another great deep diver!

[@dustinwalker8152]

That bait is/was one of the best cranks ever made for deep wood.

[@markedwards6106]

Good bait but pain to cast the dd spro is great bait

[@jd8733]

Love the new co-host

[@jackheath7991]

Hey Randy! I've been watching a lot of your videos and they're great! One word of advice - STOP reading the comments. They are messing you up and for no good reason. Just stop reading them. Joe Rogan doesn't read them and neither should you.

[@erichildreth7562]

Hoping for a fast recovery for your Dad and it is really great to see your son in your video! He is great!! Thanks for the tips (and yea I have some of these cranks) and please be safe on your way to and from the hospital! Thank you Randy!!

[@oneshoeless]

LOL That was Elijah is a hoot. Thanks for the recommendations on the crankbaits.

[@timgallagher6529]

Elijah says "I mustache you a question" he is hilarious!!

[@johngalt3568]

I’ve not fished it much, but first few times I threw the Deep Six I was convinced that it couldn’t be running right because there was so little resistance as compared to other deep divers. Thanks for the tips. We hope your Dad recovers quickly.

[@dennismills685]

Prayers for your dad. Thanks for the information.

[@TRICOTSTRICOTS]

BEST WISHES to your Dad and your entire family !!!

[@harolddamron7279]

I have one of the DT 22 and I love it 🤙

[@michaelsheppard4227]

After chunking a DD22 all day today I am wore out. Pretty kool this video popped up today of all days. I throw all but the mega bass. DD22 is the boss, fat free shad is his right hand man. Walleye smash the fat free 17-19 foot diver. Thanks for making great videos and showing the old school stuff that I will aslways throw. Hope your pops gets better quickly.

[@glenncivale6824]

Spot On! Mid 90's- blew out my elbows on Table Rock fishing DD 22's on a flippin stick. Now need to wear elbow braces anytime I crank. I did win some money with those and with the Magnum Bomber DD's. Hey just want to mention the old Vintage DD's like- Mann's Deep Pig, Rebel Deep Wee R, Rapala Shad Rap (with the red under the bill). Smaller baits but I keep them tuned and ready to go! Great post Randy! BTW, I think the SPRO Rock Crawler and 6XD took some attention away from the DD22.

[@funkymojo111]

Found the 22N and Fat Free Shad floating on the surface of my local last year. Keeping my eyes open for a Megabass

[@gregwilliams4201]

Great stuff there Randy that six x D look like it had a few battle scars on it ...

[@dogfishjones850]

The Spro’s deep divers are my go to deep divers they get down quick and stay in the zone for a go long time.

[@scottclark1168]

Great video,I have all 4 of those plugs in my deep box,and love the dd22,my 4year old name is Elijah and I would've never made it through that video hes outta control lol

[@mikeharris130]

DD22 for me. Yes, they are hard to pull through the water. At times I will throw on my old Shimano Green Curados with the 3.8 ratio.

[@eagleeye9549]

I enjoy the great white wiggle wart!

[@chasep2770]

Randy’s a legend

[@ZZ430T56]

Berkley is makin some good ones now, like the Dredge

[@davide.8176]

I'm with you on the 6XD, just have not had the success with it like I've had with the Bagley DB3 Magnum and DT-20. The 6th Sense 300DD and Cloud 9 are killer baits also.

[@lancemabry6707]

DD22 and Manns 20+. Won 3 boats on those.. But I'm on the TN River also

[@nnamrehck]

Praying for your dad! Cute kid. He's a little ham!

[@bigredbass7898]

Thanks for the info. Im just starting to learn about deeper cranks. Do you grind those into the bottom or stop when you hit bottom and let it float up some then start again? Thanks!

[@chuckkaleel9105]

Prayers for a speedy recovery

[@fifeohfarmingnstuff4416]

I have so many of the Old Baits, that I bought in the 80s n 90s, Bagleys, Poes and a Plethora of other ones. Old but still work, I'm a big fan of the Manns 79. I need to get back into fishing instead of working so much.

[@bayoustateoutdoors9650]

Elijah had me laughing 😎

[@timhafley5177]

Prayers for your Dad

[@kevinwill8542]

rapala dt series my fav

[@undercover1299]

Thanks for the info! Hope your dad of doing better.

[@johncatelli8767]

Showing your age my friend! Been pulling that bait feels like forever. DD 22 will bounce bottom down to 18ft on the right tackle. Fish it only in three colors black fire tiger an shad. Ya come August my right arm is a inch long then my left!

[@jimwampol6657]

How do bass position in the shade. Like standing timber where there is a thin shade line on each tree. Also what angle is the best presentation.

[@rionsummers5939]

I know you are wrapping up the deep crank vids and are great BTW, but wondering about the silent deep cranks like the Rapala balsa type cranks. I have a couple of those and have done pretty well on them at times when others with rattles don’t produce. Hope your Dad is recovering well and thanks again for the info.

[@ryanjofre]

The absolute G.O.A.T. Is also one of the cheapest!!! The Bill Dance Fat Free guppy which had been owned by Bomber for some decades now called The Fat Free Shad!! $4 @ Sportsman’s Warehouse has en for $4!😱😱 Highest producing Crankbait EVER!! Perfect shape, wobble & sound. Long Live Bill Dance. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MrMadhouse70]

Randy, have you try Rapala DT10 or the ones in that series of deepdiving cranks from them or Berkley Dredger? Ok here in sweden we fish perch or zander with them but i think the bass would love then too:)

[@sandycohen9862]

I'm a So. Jersey angler and the vast majority of our lakes are natural, and filled with submerged weeds and about 0 clean or rocky bottoms, I use hollow frogs.unweighted wakey rigs,swim jigs. I try to fish the grass lines ,,any other ideas for us bank fisherman

[@johnzeetee6747]

TheEliza show premiering soon!!! Lol I may have misspelled his name

[@johnlantz7278]

How does silent over noise affect deep bass and collars in respect to depth bright vis natural tones throughout the day ,

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

I prefer silent. Rattles will Telegraph themselves

[@bobgomavitz1330]

Do you always tie direct to the split ring or do you ever use a crank snap?

[@matthewc9965]

If water is dirty on top is it dirty down lower also? My thinking the dirty water would be warmer so it would be higher in the water column with clearer water down deeper…say post front multiple days later as it’s clearing all together. I say that but it would settle down huh…just equal throughout

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Hi Elijah! 👋

[@tablerockkid8237]

Randy - do you use the silent models more or the rattling models ? Or is it based on clarity?

[@paintergonefishing7933]

True fisherman

[@guyb5333]

Hope your dad recovers quickly.

[@DougLane-dj3oh]

Happy boy loves his daddy!!!

[@delmisbrown9675]

Randy do you ever use a snap between your line and split ring?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

No…just split rings

[@trentstevens8645]

What about the DT 16-20 ?

[@rangerbull]

I might even have a old maxi-r in bone somewhere.

[@dougpiper7504]

what a cute little guy

[@187bootleg]

I just can’t catch any on deep divers granite I have really only thrown a 6xd.

[@rickykranz8028]

Who makes the fat free shad?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Bomber

[@rickykranz8028]

@@randyblaukatintuitive Thanks Randy been putting your knowledge to use up here in Washington state. Caught almost a 20 pound bag on the Columbia river a couple weeks ago. Thanks for all of the knowledge you've shared on this channel.

[@mrfedex209]

Still fish the DD22 a lot. Elijah stole the show on this video from you.

[@danomite359]

The old DD22. Thank you for not show 4 different colors of a Megabass. LOL

[@wolverinex4243]

I only promote Fat Free. You know me.

[@paintergonefishing7933]

Tru fisher

[@vegasvato55]

20%pf the video was about personal issues, not the topic

[@micheledaugherty275]

Randy , Try to do your videos when the kiddo is in bed. Hard to concentrate .
