The bills have it

Crankbaits

December is one of my favorite months of the year to throw crankbaits. It seems that in recent years, the crankbait has handed its torch to other techniques like swimbaits, vibrating jigs, wake baits, glide baits and others. But there are windows of time when nothing can match the productivity of a crankbait. Its ability to deflect off cover and trigger baits from otherwise inactive fish could be its greatest attributes. 

There might be more brands, styles and models of crankbaits than any other artificial bait on the market. Finding the most productive ones could seem overwhelming and be expensive. When selecting crankbaits, consider their features and their varying purposes in the quest to generate bites.
