Today we're taking an In-Depth look at Speed cranking for bass in Fall and Winter. We're covering everything from beginner basics, up to the most advanced details of color, cadence, and fish location. If you want to take your crankbait fishing to the next level this Fall, this video is for you!
Speed cranking involves specialized crankbaits designed to be fished at high rates of speed in order to trigger a feed response in bass. It works from September to March, even in the coldest water temperatures. You know longer have to slow fish with finesse baits in Fall and Winter, its time to power fish your way to a new personal best!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits we use for this technique. We've included our favorite models, best colors, as well as hook and hardware upgrades. Additionally we've included links to the rod and reel combos discussed in the video, our storage boxes, and any other relevant information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
