Best Shallow Crankbait Rod

Pierce Knarr reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and St. Croix Mojo Bass Glass Casting Rods - EOL on Pool 7 Lake Onalaska. Additional comments from this report: "Smallmouth are starting to show up consistently on wing dams. Fishing a dt 6 and other shallow diving crank baits are the best way to target these fish. Every day they are positioned a little different on the wing dams so fishing multiple allows you to dial in where they are at on a specific day!"

Ethan Ferguson reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and St. Croix Mojo Bass Glass Casting Rods - EOL on Pool 8 Mississippi River. Additional comments from this report: "Cranking rock structure in pool 8 was the ticket for my 5th place finish in La Cross. A small swimbait was also a good cleanup bait."

Scott Clark reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and St. Croix Mojo Bass Glass Casting Rods - EOL on Lake Belle Taine.

SnowtaBass reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and St. Croix Victory Casting Rods on Lake Pepin. Additional comments from this report: "There is a ton of riprap and natural rock on the banks of Lake Pepin. During the summer months tie on a shallow diving crankbait of your choice and cast up onto the rip rap and reel back. Cover as much ground as you can and you should run into a handful of decent smallmouth this way. If they are looking for a slower approach target the same area with a Texas rigged tube and work it slowly. This should produce a handful of good bites as well."

Fished a tournament where 11# won today. "

Toaster reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and Dobyns Rods Fury Casting Rods on Prairie Lakes. Additional comments from this report: "Throwing red cranks in >5ft was the ticket. Seamed to catch on all different cover all over the lake. The wind beaten bank produced more quality fish from what I noticed. Caught a decent amount on a finesse jig today too but it was hard to put the red cranks down with the numbers they were producing."
