Crank lure – bulbous body, diving lip, simple retrieve. These characteristics are the easiest way to describe crank lures. They are mainly used as search baits due to their running characteristics and cranking ability. They are used to search large areas of water in the shortest possible time. Due to there shape they look like pregnant or overweight fish some models imitate bugs. By this alone they have extreme water resistance, because they displace a lot of water. In addition they usually have a very strong action. The crankbait does not meander through the water, but vibrates at high frequency.
With crank lures you can catch most fish along the bank. Asp and Chub. Both like to linger in turbulence – such as rushing water or behind weirs – and are very happy to help themselves to the fishy food supply. Both fish the surface and will attack anything that crosses their sight path. Often chubs follow the bait for a long time in clear water, only to decide to attack at the last moment.
