With all the different crank baits on the market it's hard to pick just one. This one bait has caught more fish then any other crankbait and it is the best bait to start with. The Series 5 will catch you more fish around the country than any other crankbait and here is why.

MY PROFILE:
I started fishing when I was just a young kid and instantly fell in love with Bass Fishing. Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn't have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I’ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors. I have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey...it should be an honest and fun ride!

In the 70’s I spent the summers at my grandparents cottage and won the lakes big bass contest on a Rebel Deep R almost every year. In the 80’s I won club, Red Man and Federation tournaments on a Bagley DB3, In the 90’s it was Poe 300 & 400. 2005 I won the BASS Federation National Championship with a Poe 300. These days I still use the Poe’s and buy and use the XD baits. That bait style has been a great bait for 50 years. All you need is Shad, Chartreuse and Black.

Of of all the Strike King cranks, the series 4 is probably the most underrated. If they're on a wiggle wart/rock crawler bite, the 4 will hammer them.

Norman deep little N for me. Been throwing it for 30+ years and I've always got one tied on. Still throwing same color/ colors and they still catch fish. Rivers, lakes, summer, winter, spring, or fall it's my absolute confidence crank.

The series 5 is without a doubt one of the best crankbaits to ever exist... I have no clue why but it will come through shallow brush piles and stump fields better then any crankbait I've ever thrown. Definitely a solid bait and I have a tackle box dedicated to them. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

@stevenbrown7560 8 ай бұрын

Series 5 has caught more doubles than all other crankbaits combined for me. For some reason it works really well throwing into schooling fish.

@dustinwalker8152 8 ай бұрын

Agreed that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean a better bait. That said, one thing I've noticed is more consistency bait to bait with a select few more expensive baits (OSP, Megabass, Evergreen, Duo and few others mostly Japanese brands). So even though each bait is more expensive, in a way it really isn't. Say I buy 5 Strike King cranks, 1-3 of them of them are going to run good-great (I don't mean a tuning issue, I mean the way it wobbles, wiggles, rolls, deflects, start back up after a pause or intentional blowout, hunts, etc). The other 2-4 of those 5 may as well go in the trash, in the "I will see what I can modify on it later" bin or for some maybe save them for one of those days when anything will get bit. Whereas if I buy 3 OSP cranks everyone of them is going to do the exact same thing. So, in a way it really isn't more or less expensive. Not saying every manufacturer's expensive bait will run good, but the really good ones will. Make sense?

@matthewboyt7357 7 ай бұрын

I've had the exact same issue. 5xd would out catch any crankbait in my boat but my problem is the same. Taking time to upgrade hooks on 5 of them and at least 2 aren't going to run true at all is frustrating

I've been throwing the series 3 alot as a search bait. If that bite is on, I'll switch to a spro Rk crawler in a tourny because it's just better, but the series cranks are cheap and great for throwing around sketchy cover. Paint falls off, and they always need tuning, but they do get it done. I may have to add the series 5 to the arsenal for the same purpose.

@fishingva2167 7 ай бұрын

The series 1 and series 4s are old baits that still load the boat. Wish they came is more colors like they used to and alot of the newer colors the other strike king cranks come in

@erniebrightfishing 8 ай бұрын

Bro. I wish I were in Texas. I'd about love to go fishing with you for a few days and just learn. I wouldn't care if I caught one at all, just learning would be the deal. I feel like I'm a decent angler but I really struggle with a few techniques. Cranking, jerking and deeper stuff like brushpiles etc. I really struggle. And living on the Tennessee river ledge fishing is key and I suck at it. Lol. I can do shallow all day long and that's what I usually end up doing I still catch em but I know my chances of catching bigger fish more consistently would drastically increase if I could do better fishing deeper.

@maxcole3930 8 ай бұрын

I have always seed to do better with silent cranks baits, of any size/depth range. Regardless of water clarity. Maybe that's because I throw them that much more? Any thoughts on rattling or silent cranks??

You ever get into wooden baits? I hear you about cheap squarebills still catching fish, but I do shell out the extra dough for balsa plugs sometimes. I just think its something different from the last guy who went down the bank.
