Best Crankbait Rod For Bass Anglers -Ultimate Guide(Updated October 2022)

October 19, 2022 By Wes Leave a Comment

BEST CRANKBAIT ROD

Have you ever needed a hammer, but used the back of a screwdriver or something similar instead?

Yes, it did get the job done, but it would have been a lot easier to use a tool that was designed specifically for that purpose.

The same is true when it comes to crankbait fishing. Yes, you can use any fishing pole to get the job done, but you will enjoy fishing more and perhaps be more successful by using the right tools.

In this post, we will discuss what makes a good fishing rod, the best crankbait rod.

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.

Save Loads Of Money With The Best Lure Retriever On The Market!

June 10, 2022 By Wes 1 Comment

Fishing lures can be expensive.

I have seen some lures that cost as much as $100 apiece. Don’t believe me? Check out a previous post on the most expensive swimbaits.

However, the idea of spending that kind of cash for a single lure makes me, as well as others, quite nervous.

Now I am not discouraging anyone from spending a lot of money on fishing gear. I understand that in most cases a higher-priced lure is most likely going to perform better than a cheaper option.

The part that makes me most nervous about fishing with such an expensive lure is what comes next. After buying a lure we attach hooks to it and then we proceed to launch it into the unknown.

Yes, we target areas where we know there will be laydowns, brush piles, structures, etc. All the while hoping (sometimes praying) that our lure doesn’t get snagged.

So it is not so much about making that initial investment that makes me nervous, but rather it is the idea of losing that money in a brush pile or a laydown. Not to mention the time spent trying to get it back or going to the store to find a replacement.

So what can be done?

Well if you are tired of losing lure after lure, you can have come to the right place.

In this post, we are going to talk about a simple tool that could save you hundreds of dollars a year in fishing gear. It is a lure retriever. 

What is a lure retriever? Which lure retrievers are the best?

Let’s talk about that….
