Sub Surface cranks

Featured Replies

I've got some 0 feet lure, but I've never catch bass with them. Which is the factors ehen these lures can be perfect weapons like subwart, roumba, small fry bream, yo Zuri bugbug, ss minnow, etc?

shallow, warm, weedy water!

by the way, these are called wake baits, not sub surface cranks. sub surface cranks go UNDER water, not wake the surface.

sub wart is one of my favorite cranks. I also throw a lot of baby ones and I just picked up a few of the manns wake and baby wakes. I find the best time is when the lilly pads are just below the surface for one and another is when you are in shallow 3-5 feet of water fishing around trees. you can crank right over the top of the tree and bump into it where ever you can. If you vary your retrive, crank, twitch, pause, crank, pause, crank fast, twitch change direction as much as your rod will allow that also seems to work great for me.

That time the WTD and poppers are perfect too, isn't it?

I'm catching a lot of fish right now in water temps  <50°F.  The one that has really shined is a Duo Slaver Crank SR55, as shown in my avatar:

I do really good with the sebil double jointed wake bait, forgot the name sorry

it works really well for me in cold to hot water, mainly fished as close to walls and ledges as i can.

I like it becuase when the waters warm, it can be fished very fast making for some explosive aggresive strikes on the surface.  And can also be fished very very slow for lethargic fish.

I love the subwart, I throw this bad boy in shallow warmer water around the same time of day id throw a topwater. its best when the weeds are just low enough so that you dont get snagged.

I have had rather good success with the Mann's Elite waker
