Description
Suspended Lures are among the top-producing lures for any species that eats smaller baitfish and shrimp. They allow an angler to quickly cover water and will be appealing to any fish that is in a feeding mood. They will even tempt those that are not hungry. By following these steps, you will be sure to get the most out of of your crankbaits. Work best around shallow cover. Ideal places to throw crankbaits are around rocks, docks, submerged wood and shallow grass lines. A steady stop-and-go retrieve will also work in all seasons. Shallow crankbaits are perfect for springtime, as many of the largest fish will begin to enter shallow water in preparation for spawning. A fast retrieve is the best to use to cover water until you locate a concentration of fish.
Suspending Crankbait Lures – Suspending crankbaits have neutral buoyancy, which means they weigh the same as the volume of water they displace. The result of this is that they neither sink nor float, but dive to a predetermined dept and stay there – even if you stop the retrieve for a moment or two. Many anglers will tell you that this is when most sub-surface predators will strike, with the crankbait suspended motionless just where they’d expect to find it. The purpose of a suspending crankbait lure is to suspend in the midwater area and float around. Anglers can adjust the positioning in the water by giving a quick jerk on the rod to send the jerkbait diving or rising through the deep water.
