Wood crankbaits like these deep-diving Poe's baits need to be checked frequently for nicks and gouges in the finish. If water penetrates the wood, it can weaken the bait

	You can add weight to a crankbait and make it run even deeper by adding Suspend strips or sticky lead
	Dark colored crankbaits are good in low-light conditions.
