Best Shallow Crankbait Line

Phelptwan reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Austin Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Water temp was running 53.5-55.7 while we were out. Was decently windy out of the west (7-10mph). Early catch in open water on a jerkbait. We eventually found a pattern of throwing into the dark spots in 4-5' of water and ripping a bait through it (frittside). Otherwise the ned rig was pretty productive for smallies as well. Probably only caught one keeper out of the 8 bass we caught. Lake definitely seems to be in decline."

Will Burch reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Patoka Lake. Additional comments from this report: "My favorite way to fish this bait is burning it in as fast as I can, but I never get bit while the bait is moving. The trick to a good pause is to stop the bait after making contact with structure. For example bring the bait over a log or off a ledge then pause. The idea of this technique is to not waste time working the bait where the fish aren’t and pausing it when it’s in those blatantly obvious ambush point. "
