As we were slowly making our way along the shore of a local lake recently, a youthful angler in my boat asked how deep the water was so he could tell what crankbait to tie on. When I told him we were in 3 to 6 feet of water, he excitedly replied, “Oh, okay, so I need a square-bill crankbait.”
Even though I knew exactly what he meant, I also felt he wasn’t entirely right.
Crankbaits are suitable for many fishing situations.
