Further up north into Lake Texoma I was using the Jackhammer as a search bait. I was running just above some areas of grass near the bottom. I was using a steady crank and then I’d kill it, and let it dip and bit then start cranking again. This bass smoked it as I came up out of a pause. It was down in the grass and as it came up he got it. This is a deadly pairing as I use the Berkley Power Stinger as a trailer. That tail action and the natural hunting action of a well used and broken in Jackhammer is irresistible. Try that pairing some time, you won’t be disappointed!

When fishing a medium to deep diving crankbait it is important to have the right equipment. I always want to have a 6 speed gear ratio reel for deep cranking. If you don’t have a lower gear ratio reel you’re going to tire your arm out pretty quickly. I love throwing the Cloud 9 C10 and 15 on offshore points and humps. You can catch so many fish on one spot. When reeling it down and through the bottom, make sure you stop it from time to time. This is important if they are chasing it and not entirely wanting to commit. When you stop it in their face they will react to it. Lake Texoma is also pretty clear so if you need to size down your line 12lb might be better than the 15lb. You can catch largemouth, spotted bass and smallmouth on this technique. Good luck!
