Crankbait
SpecializedIntermediateFresh & salt
A hard-bodied lure with a diving lip that wobbles through the water column at a depth set by lip size and retrieve speed. Covers water fast, ideal for locating active fish before switching to something slower.

Technique tips
- Match the lip's running depth to the water you're covering — check the packaging depth rating.
- Bump it off cover (rocks, wood) deliberately — the deflection often triggers a reaction strike.
- A stop-and-go retrieve beats a steady crank when fish are following but not committing.
