Never underestimate the ability of a Surface Popping Jerkbait (RS) to produce fish. These baits mimic baitfish escaping because they’re wounded or are getting away from a pod of feeding fish.

Today’s crank/jerk baits come in a variety of body shapes and widths, but the lure’s bill is the key feature. That feature defines a crankbait as a shallow, medium, or deep diving plug. Crankbaits with square bills are best for running in the shallows from 1 to 4 feet. While a plug with a 1-inch bill will dive to about 10 feet deep. This bait has a rounded bill allowing it to run up to 10 feet.

A crankbait might sink if it has a design intended to sink (a “sinking crankbait”), if it has sustained damage causing water to leak inside, or if the hooks or added weight are too heavy for its buoyancy, making it denser than water and causing it to sink. This bait is weighted with an internal rattler and will sink in freshwater or saltwater.

A high rod tip position (e.g., 10 or 11 o’clock) reduces a crankbait’s dive, while keeping the tip low to the water encourages a deeper running depth. Adjust rod tip position as needed to maximize the crank’s time in the strike zone throughout the retrieve. Floating crankbaits are handy in shallow water. Doesn’t take long for it to be clear: crankbait fishing – particularly crankbait trolling – is a depth-control game. Whether you are targeting walleye in the bottom zone or suspending well above bottom, to catch them consistently you want to present your lure in their faces.
