About this title

Synopsis

From the Introduction: Crankbaits today come in lifelike patterns that emulate shad and crawfish, two food staples of bass. By design, today's crankbaits will run from just beneath the surface to depths of 25 feet or more. While the modern crankbait was undergoing its facelift, another revolution was underway with a similar category of lure. The slender floating minnow, made of hard plastic, morphed into what is today called the jerkbait. Jerkbaits are classified as reaction lures, and rightfully so. The erratic diving, flashing and darting action they impart, oftentimes triggers the predator instinct of the bass, whether or not it's in search of a meal. Knowing the nuances of jerkbaits and crankbaits, and recognizing that they should have top shelf recognition in the tacklebox, will make you a more rounded bass fisherman. And a more successful angler.
