What rod should I use for crankbaits?
A 7 to 8-foot cranking rod will cast the bigger medium and deep-diving crankbaits much better than a 6′-6” rod will. The longer length allows energy to load up into the rod, making long casts easier. On the other hand, a 6′-6” cranking rod will be a better choice when fishing smaller crankbaits.
What makes a good spinnerbait?
The shorter the distance from the head to the R-bend, the better a spinnerbait will come through cover. The longer the back wire or the wire from the R-bend to the blades the more it protects the hook in cover. Night time spinnerbaits typically have a short front wire and short back wire.
How deep can you fish a spinnerbait?
spinnerbaits are at their very best when you are fishing a particular depth. Any depth between 1 and 20 feet is fine, just as long as it is a given depth within a few feet. Once you know the target depth, you can adjust the bait run almost exactly at that depth with very little additional effort on your part.
