Crappie Crankbaits
Hard Body Plastic Swimbait Fishing Lures

Crappie crankbaits are exciting for catching panfish like crappie, perch, bluegill, and even small sized largemouth bass and smallmouth bass.

Or, if you're fishing for larger types of fish like big fat largemouth bass, pike, walleye or musky, then regular sized crankbaits with crappie color patterns could entice those bigger fish to bite. You might even be able to reel in some giant slabs or possibly the next world record crappie.

Crankbait fishing is pretty much my favorite freshwater fishing technique. I enjoy the fast pace and the feel of the lure as it shimmers through the water, skipping along the bottom, bouncing off of rocks, ripping through the grass and hitting other types of structure.

And the bite is so rewarding. Hooking into those fish on a crank bait is like getting a pure shot of adrenaline.
