I had been looking far and wide for the perfect crank and I think I finally found it in the Bill Lewis ATV 1.5. Perfect weight (1/2 oz) for the setup I want to throw it on, beautiful paint and craftsmanship, and still small and compact profile for river smallmouth.

 

I got it in the water yesterday and while it casts beautifully, I noticed it has a much tighter wobble than most squarebills I’ve thrown. However, I am pretty sure it still searches left to right on retrieve, as I see my line go back and forth in the water. Just making sure this is the case, and in your experience, do you find any particular wobble more effective for river smallmouth?

Also, do they make any like this with a wider wobble?
