[@Turlesy]

Have had some good luck yo-yoing my lipless crankbait (cotton cordell super spot usually). Working the bank, reelreel, touch bottom, pull up, reel. Bass hiding under riprap love this apparently! Got loads of them doing this.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’ve done that as well!

[@georgepretnick4460]

Tyler, you are totally correct about crankbaits relating to bass fishing. Unfortunately, all fishing is not bass fishing. We dredged up many walleyes(I know, "What's a Walleye?") on deep diver crankbaits. My favorite were called a "Smoo". Walleyes are often suspended in 50+ feet of water. If your diver can get 30 feet down, well, you're right in there.

[@johnnyramirez1632]

Tyler, I mentioned a few videos ago that you answer all the questions and I would use your videos to show my students how to give a presentation. As I was getting ready to ask if it’s smart to take crankbaits bank fishing (considering snags and lost lures percentages are most likely increased) you answered it. Ha! Furthermore, I should’ve started with the overview of the discussion in your video description to realize it was going to get answered. Another excellent video covering all aspects of the topic from all angles. Thank you.

[@blindsquirrel]

Only caught two fish on a crank bait, and one was a perch. Good tip in this video is bumping it off the bottom. I’ve been fishing crank baits in open water. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks

[@romt730]

Thanks Tyler! I will give this a try! Also, thanks for the detailed definition of the 'Crank bait'! ;)

[@TylersReelFishing]

Always here to help

[@scottseith2134]

Great stuff as always Tyler. I mainly pond fish, and have been killing them this year on squarebills. I am running them on 10-12 lb. floro leader, and have to pause my retrieve often similar to fishing wood to prevent snags. I’m confident the reason I am catching so many is no one else is throwing them. A good crankbait rod also helps.

[@TylersReelFishing]

All that is great stuff!

[@kuahiwi808]

I live in Texas and my lake has insane grass/muk on the bottom and it doesn’t matter if I go weedless or rip a shallow diving crankbait it always gets grass (doesn’t snag) I’ve used topwater and never caught anything. I’m not talking about a little bit of grass on the hooks but the entire lure is completely covered. What do you recommend me using?

[@proxcuber4741]

Hmmm I know! Try a swimming senko that is Texas rigged on a belly weighted swim bait hook. Or you can peg a bullet sinker and Texas rig it with a offset round bend (not and ewg) make sure you choose colors that match the forage!

[@danielmiller6255]

I would use a fluke. Probably a smaller sized one that is not weighted. Try throwing it on a spinning reel. Or a frog Or ask Tyler insta lol

[@Bobo0818ml]

[@adammitchell3462]

I've fished my whole life but mostly with live minnows but with some basic lures. One of these lures was a crank bait and I didn't know how to fish it really,I just cast and retrieve but I've caught a lot of bass doin that,no matter if it's open water or right off the bank,the crank bait works even if you don't know much about it

[@reddog1534]

I had one place we called mud bug hole, because nice ~2 lbs bass schooled there. But crank a mudbug below them then came the 3-5 lb fish

You would make an amazing junior high wild life/outdoor sports teacher.

Teach all the stuff you learned in Boy Scouts and other manly things. Guys need a great role model like you.

My last few trips out (East Texas) I've been using a craw pattern lipless and fishing it in areas where I tend to come up with vegetation BUT its often when I bounce off something or rip myself free that Im getting those reaction bites. With a lipless its been the only thing working for me this fall.

[@xingao2057]

nice video, thanks! Can you talk about what the best gear to pair with different category of baits someday? like chatterbait, lipless crank, bladebait, what length and action rod should i use, what line to pair with? sometimes it could be confusing. Thanks.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I talk about all of that in those specific videos, so search them up on KZbin. I do like to stick to the sixes and sevens in gear ratio though

[@THIRTYONEFILMS]

[@TylersReelFishing]

Then I’m glad you have success with that! That’s dope

[@THIRTYONEFILMS]

Yep, and not saying it is the best way to fish them. Just that it can land some monsters, and in my bodies of water (lots of dirty water / thick vegetation & wood) it’s seemed to work out 🤷‍♂️

[@tylersims6264]

I’m learning that bank fishing is very different than fishing from a boat. From the bank, I’m pulling the bait from deeper to shallow water. Since I’m new to fishing, I purchased a couple of crank baits (2-4 feet) to start with. Is my thinking correct on this? I’m also fishing on a river (Chattahoochee) and depending where I am on the river, the river speed plays into potential lures hanging on me.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes stay shallower for bank fishing cranks

[@hyslopboys9600]

EVERYONE : “another awesome video by Tyler!” ME : “Tyler needs a hair cut!” 😂

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s coming chill haha

[@jamesrobertsonfishing]

Does bouncing a crankbait bait off the rocks or vegetation go the same for a lipless crankbait? Usually for me I try to fish those next to the vegetation and just above the rocks because of constant snags. Really enjoy your videos.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yes it does. Not as much bouncing but try to make it happen

[@andrewvolcom11]

I have had huge success with open water cranking not making contact when targeting smallmouth that are feeding up 3-5 feet off the floor. Not soo much with the largemouth.

[@TylersReelFishing]

That’s the general consensus. It’s a smallie thing

[@andrewvolcom11]

@@TylersReelFishing yeah for sure just the other day I was intentionally targeting smallies 5ish feet off the bottom in 12-15ft water and the wouldn't touch anything but a crankbait that wasn't making contact. I could wind it at about 5-7feet and they would munch it feeding up. But but anything below them on the floor and zero bites. Smallies are an interesting species for sure definitely dobt play by what we are taught especially when it comes to cranking

Ok so tyler I might be making a pretty bold move, since the tp1 black stick has micro guides and I use leaders all the time I'm thinking about getting the lews pro-ti cause I definetly still want to get a lews rod, but do you think its worth the extra 100 dollars? What can I get with the pro-ti that I can't get with other rods?

[@TylersReelFishing]

I would honestly get a KVD rod. The pro ti spinning rods are worth it, but not the casting.

[@BigOldBass]

Ok how does the Team Lew’s® Custom Pro Series compare to the pro-ti cause I feel like cork lasts the longest and the rod looks great. I don’t know about the kvd one though.

I buy the Ozark Trail brand because if/when I lose that lure my wallet won't cry as loudly. To me a cheaper brand in the right color and decently sharp hooks will certainly catch fish!
