Whether you’re casting or trolling, winters or summers, crankbaits are a fit for all. If you’re looking to learn more on how to fish a crankbait, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know.

What is a Crankbait?

Their classification is based on their ideal depth levels. There are three types of crankbaits, shallow divers, medium divers, and deep divers.

crankbait in spring

The stop and go technique is particularly useful in this season. Shallow depths are perfect to angle in with shallow-diving crankbaits. The spawning season brings in multiple large fish to shallow ends.

crankbait in summer

During the summer the metabolism of all predatory fish is at a high. You’ll need to be quick with cranking and opt for deeper water bodies. Deep-diving crankbaits are a popular choice while fishing during the summer.

crankbait in fall

Fall is the season for crankbaits to shine. In this season all predatory fish are looking to fulfill their nutritional requirements before it's too cold. Baitfish become more active. It’s best to use a crankbait with a fast retrieve during fall.
