| Lipless Crankbaits are arguably the best search bait on the market. A lipless crankbait is a crankbait without a lip. To get the lure to drop to certain depths, you must cast it out and wait to retrieve it. The longer you wait, the deeper the lure will be at. These lures are best used in 4 to 12 feet of water. Most lipless crankbaits have rattles in them, and if they don't, find one that does. The noise drives fish crazy. You can often hear the noise of the lure 10 feet away from your boat as you are winding it in. How To Use Lipless Crankbaits There are so many ways to use these lures. Most anglers use them as a search bait by casting them in waters from 4 to 12 feet deep. When fishing deeper water, use the countdown method. When the lure hits the water, wait and count the lure down to different depths. With this method, you can find out the depth of the active fish. Winding the lure in with a fast retrieve works best because of the noise and action of the lure. Some anglers prefer to use a stop and go method, which will trigger some fish during the pause. It's an easy lure to use and one that should be in your tackle box. Where To Use Lipless Crankbaits These lures can be very effective in open water along drop-offs, rocky shorelines, weed lines, above underwater weeds, along stumps and anywhere you can cast it and keep it out of snags. Types of Fish Caught on Lipless Crankbaits Every lure that eats a minnow will eat a crankbait. They are most effect for bass, pike, walleye, salmon, trout, and muskie. Problems With Using Lipless Crankbaits Very few anglers have problems using lipless crankbaits because they are so easy to use. Some anglers that don't catch fish with these lures are doing a couple of things wrong. These lures are made for active fish. If the temperature is below 55 degrees, it is not recommended to use a crankbait. Fish are more sluggish in the colder water and slower baits will work better. Another typical mistake anglers make is winding in too slow. These crankbaits drive active fish crazy. Wind the lure in fast. You can wind the lure in as fast as you can while keeping the lure down and running correctly. You may feel like you are winding in too fast, but you won't feel this way once you start getting hits. |
