The Best Lipless Crankbait – My Top 9 Picks – (October 2022 Updated)

BEST LIPLESS CRANKBAIT


If you could only fish with one lure for a day what lure would you choose? Personally, I probably would grab a lipless crankbait.

Many would agree that lipless crankbaits are some of the best ways to catch big bass.

For one, the size of the lure allows you to throw them a mile, thus making it very easy to cover a lot of water.

They are also super easy to use, whether you like to work them across the bottom,  burn them across the top or use the yo-yo retrieve, you are bound to catch a fish no matter the (or lack of) fishing experience you have.

Lastly, they give off a great about of vibration and sound that many have said acts like a dinner bell in drawing in bass for a bite.

What more can I say? These baits are a must-have when fishing. However, did you know that there are several different types of lipless crankbaits available on the market today? What makes it worse is that no two lures are exactly alike. They all bring their own uniqueness to the fishing scene.

How can a fisherman know which one to throw?

In this post, we are going to take a closer look at some of my favorites.

Swimbaits are a favorite choice among bass fishermen who are targeting that big bite. However, just as important to choosing the right lure, is selecting the right equipment.

After all, if you get a fish to bite, but don’t have the right reel, rod or line, it might cost you a fish. And we all know that when fishing with big lures such as swimbaits, we are already limiting the number of bites we will get on a given trip.
