Conditions- summertime, clear water, natural lakes with bluegill and perch as forage.  From what I've read so far, a wide wobbling bait with a square type lip is preferred. Which crankbaits do you think come through the salad the best?

i use wordens timber tiger,now yakima baits,or something like that, and rapalas dt4's and 6's...

I just got back from Little Creek Reservoir in James City Co., Virginia. Bank fished from 6-7 pm. This is a decent size reservoir with extremely clear water. The lake is about 7 feet low (too low to put a boat out) and there is a lot of grass right now. A lot is matted on the surface, but most is a few feet under the surface.

Tonight I fished the sub-surface Koppers Live Target Crawfish Crank in orange/brown. This bait caught 2. I also fished the Norman Thin N in a sexy shad type color. This bait caught 1 (and 1 big-*** bull frog). I fished the Yo-Zuri 3D crank in ayu color. Nothing on this bait.

The Koppers is a surface/sub-surface bait that wakes if you crank is slow, and just under the surface on a little faster retrieve. It has an extremely wide wobble.

The Thin N has a wide wobble and dives to about 2 or 3 feet.

The Yo Zuri has a slightly tighter wobble and likewise dives to about 2 or 3 feet.
