Was going to the lake this weekend and was wondering what kinda lures you guys use to get the fish that are down deep. The deepest diving crank baits i got dive between 6 and 12 feet. Anyone have any suggestions on any other lures (not just crank baits). Thanks

3/4 oz football jigs, Carolina rig, dropshot, Norman D22, Lucky craft 20, Manns 30+. The possibilities are endless.

Ok guys there are no shallow lures, deep lures, spring lures, summer lures, fall lures, winter lures; all lures will work if the proper location is right.

Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, drop shot rigs, spinner baits, jigs, swim baits ect will work either shallow or deep.  

Texas Rigs, Carolina Rigs, dropshots, football jigs, swimbaits, 3/4 to 2oz spinnerbaits, Rapala DT 16

I have been riggin up some drop shot rigs and i was wondering what size sinkers would you recommend to go down at most 20 feet?

10 to 20 feet down a 1/4oz. is my mainstay unless the wind is blowing than I step it up to 3/8 oz.  shallower than 10 ft. gets the call for an 1/8oz.

Keep your mind focused on only two things: depth & speed control. There have been some great suggestions here already. I'd only add blade baits to the list of jigs, DD cranks and the drop shot.

Carolina rigged lizard, heavier lipless crankbaits, bigger spinnerbaits, or even curly tails or tubes on heavy jigheads.

In clearer water drop shotting and shaky heads also work.

I use 4 baits for deep water:  a C-Rig, a Football Jig, a crankbait, and a heavy spinnerbait.  I'll add that I am a crankbait nut, and this time of year with the colder water some make the mistake of fishing their crankbait too slow.  I have a great article by david fritt's on how he fishes a crankbait in colder water.  He believes it is a mistake to slow your bait down, and he advises to pull/sweep your crankbait...reel in the slack...and repeat all the way to the baot.  It works....

Hey Natural, can you share this article or tell where can I find it please.

Thanx.
