Your videos when you're concentrating on a certain technique are just top of the line. None better

Co-poly lines have been good for me when i want that crank or jerkbait to stay higher up above rocks, grass.

Hey Ben, Griff and crew. Thanks for the video AND especially the great help and conversation in the shop today. You guys are the best.

I find it amazing that you say the first thing everybody should do when they buy a crankbait is change the hooks. Maybe tournament fisherman?? You think a weekend angler should do this?? I guess maybe if a lure has some Superbad hooks, but gee whiz , that seems ridiculous. It’s a new lure with new hooks.

You guys need more online inventory. I've never been able to buy anything in any of the best colors or sizes because everything is ALWAYS sold out. I mean, I like fishing lures... I wanna be a customer. 🤷‍♂️

Great information, Ben! Thanks

Always carry a good hook sharpener.

Great video, thanks for the info

Another solid video Ben. Would you have a few additional suggestions for bank anglers working lipless and shallow/mid cranks in around 12 feet or less water?

One thing that really helped me was changing front hook to short shank ewg and round bend on the back. Especially with lipless

Thanks, great information Ben 🍺

Thumbs up Thanks

1 underutilized baits is the Rapala 3.5 balsa extreme fantastic in shallow water. Great recommendations guys good stuff!

Can you make a suggestion for a good cranking reel for square bills and mid diving cranks?

Love it, shoping now from Sweden 🤪👍

Hey guys, thanks for the great video! Awesome insight and details! Have a question on running braid to leader for cranking, as where I fish it’s mostly bank style with one set up to do everything. My question is: when it comes to dive depth, does the thinner line diameter of braided line counteract its buoyancy? Also, does the leader diameter affect the dive depth more so than the main braid line diameter? Thank you! ❤

Just in case you were wondering what rods I had it was xpride medium glass/composite and Phoenix heavy glass composite

Crankbait bass fishing is my favorite 💯🇨🇦🎣😎

Favorite small/finesse crank rod? Swingfire no longer an option, so does Elseil get the nod or something a little slower/whippy? Think Z1-3, OSP Blitz, SPRO Rockcrowler 50, etc. Still on the MH Valk?

Yea I need to step up my crankin game

Two things for you today...1: I love the music. Your brother gets a "high-five" from me (for what it's worth). 2: What about the connection between the line and the crankbait? I fish from a small, paddle-driven kayak. I have room for 2 rods. Those rods change depending on what I feel like fishing. But...I need flexibility in bait size and colors, so I'm constantly switching until I find something that works. Can I use a clip, snap or snap-swivel with a crankbait? Is that going to be a factor in my choice of line and rod?

Thank Ben for all that juice information. Question out of the topic. I need a spinning rod for ned rigs. Budget $200-$300 😅

I like the Madbull a lot for cranking. Would you throw crank fc on it since it’s graphite? I’ve only ever ran sniper and InvizX on it

Ben Deps boa constrictor for deep crank?

There needs to be a Tackle Otaku app or just you in the back of the boat lol telling us what to throw 🤣

Crank baits are the deal!!

Do you tie straight too your crank baits and jerk baits or do you use a type of barrel swivel?

Been eating up your long form technique specific videos. Do you guys have a Ned rig video in the works? I'm on LSC and they were munching it this past summer so I really want to dial things in for this season.

Do you think it was a mistake going with a glass composite rod for cranks? I have two rods medium and heavy but I feel like I can’t feel much of what my bait is going through when I get a bite though I land them everytime.

2023 is going to be the year of the crankbait for me. Huge point of emphasis going forward.

Hey Ben . I just bought a Great Hunting 50 Flatside from you and was wondering what size hook I can replace on it .

what size treble hooks would you recommended for small or medium sized crank baits? i just made a haul from your shop and I want to replace the hardware on all of them.

the difference between Sunline assassin and sniper?? reaction baits vs bottom contact baits?

Dude I've used Sniper for so long and went through many spools and I've heard so many pros recommend it but I can't tell you how often I have to retie because it frayed so easily or the number of times I made a bomber cast and my line snapped and my crankbait went flying. I'm done cranking with it. I still use it for jerkbaits but I'm cranking with Abrazx.

I wish that you'd have Owner-56 (3x, black chrome) hooks.

Yo the mullet needs to come back in full swing

when in doubt crank 1 out

So my crankbait will dig sometimes but most of the time it doesn't wobble right and just spins in a circle.. is it cause it's in too deep of water or any tips..?

What do you think about the Lucky Craft SKT Magnum Deep Diver? How heavy of a rod should I throw those on? Thanks Ben!

Does that Sunline Crank flouro line return back pretty close to its original state after it’s stretched or does it stay stretched out and become weaker. I like my copoly because it’s more like a rubber band.

When you are talking about rods you should give the length of the rod the power and the ACTION of the rod so we viewers have the best information on what to purchase.

What specific line are you pairing up with the Orochi XX 7’11” launcher?

Ben, what would be your recommended hook replacement for the Megabass Big M series (specifically the Big M 7.5)? You mentioned the stock hooks were thick, but didn't mention what should be their replacement. Do I need like an Owner ST-56 (3x) Treble Hook? Thanks.

Can we use a medium fast with the 8 & 10 xd?

You didn't mention gear ratios for cranks. Lots of variations from low to high. Maybe discuss the uses for them. I for one would benefit being deep cranks seem to be my nemesis

My 7'1 valkyrie Adjustable grip Broke off in my Hand while making A cast Saturday. 2 months old

Spool size… lots of guys not using the right one for the depth target

that evoke is money

Anybody have recommendations for a good lure retriever ? Thanks

I only used 3-6 ft crank baits I don’t like 12-16 or 18-25 👎that Orochi XX launcher is it over kill for crank baits from 3-6 or 6-8 just wondering

When are you going to even get some more blitz magnum dr’s ?? I think you and your employees bought them all before they even went on sale. !!! Your comment at the time was you where putting a lot of them in your boat. ?!?!?

Pretty sad that you pay a lot for a crankbait with garbage hooks!

This dudes always trying to sell us stuff lol. "Want some tips on how to fish better? Buy more crap!"

Love the video's. Would love to have an Orion with ya and pick your brain on gear.

Owner are the beast hooks and yes I spelled it wrong on purpose lol 😂 but seriously st56 always
