An important crankbait that should be included<br />

in every bass angler’s arsenal is a<br />

lipless crank. Like the squarebill the lipless<br />

crank is another versatile lure in a sense that<br />

it can be fished at any depth that the angler<br />

chooses. While this type of crank may not<br />

have a bill it has the similar action of most<br />

other crankbaits but with a tighter, more active<br />

side to side wobble.<br />

Lipless cranks tend to come into play during<br />

the cold fall months when water temperatures<br />

drop and the warm summer air<br />

is replaced with the cool breeze of fall. Fall<br />

fish will go to great measures to nab an extra<br />

meal to stock up before the winter freeze<br />

and the lipless crank is just the bait to throw<br />

when big fall bass are on the prowl. Since<br />

lipless cranks have no bill the angler can<br />

control the depth in which they believe the<br />

fish are biting thus making the lipless crank<br />

a deep and shallow water bass weapon.
