Dink Mendez Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Howdy, What is more effective in clear or stained water. Flat sided crankbaits or traditional shaped baits. All baits in balsa wood. The reason I'm asking is because I will be trying to fish balsa wood crankbaits in a lake dominated in spotted bass. I would like to fish a zone between 5 and 15 feet. I will not be making the baits, just the assembly process to finish. I just trying to crack the code on the lake I fish. About 99% of the angler fish spinnerbait and rip baits. So my goal is to find some thing to trigger the big spots to hit. Thanks Dink Mendez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I give up predicting if bass prefer a flat or a round crankbait on a given day but usually start with a flat sided tight action bait because I feel that most days, most lakes, it will get more bites. Especially in spring and fall but don't discount them year round. That's not rigorous analysis based on hard data - just one guy's opinion based on personal expeience.

cullin8s Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 the only thing you can predict about bass fishing is its going to change as soon as you figure it out :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
