PERFECTING THE CRANKBAIT FISHING SYSTEM

I love fishing a crankbait. Just plain and simple. It is a technique that I do nearly every month of the year, so having the right kind of gear for the job is a must. I have finally assembled what in my opinion is the best small body cranking set up and system for small body crank baits. Remember your system may look different based on your needs, wants, budget, and skill level. Use this information to build your perfect system. In the end the rod, reel, line, bait, and hooks work together to hook more bass, keep them pinned, and get them to and in the boat or to the bank.

How do you know what size of treble hook to put on your crank bait.
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
Its mostly from just using the bait for a long time. You can look it up though manufactures will have it on their website. I use number 6 for small cranks (bandit size) and number 4 for bigger cranks (square bills)
Rollie Van Cleave
Rollie Van Cleave - 6 years ago
See the line is tied directly to the split ring. In one of your videos, you recommended using a barrel swivel to reduce line twist. What baits do you use the barrel swivel with (imagine a whopper plopper would be one)? Just topwater?
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
Rollie Van Cleave barrel swivel just on the whopper plopper. Regular snap on walking baits and some crank baits (especially big ones)

Hey Alex, great video. I was just wondering are you with grods because you like them and they are good quality rods or because you get free rods from them?
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
MattB Bassin I am with G-Rod because I truly believe in them! Same as the rest of my partners. I had 5-6 hour meeting and deliberated with my family and friends before I decided to work with them.
https://youtu.be/Jlg29juz1TA (2 hour 24 min mark) I explain what G-Rod is and how they were designed and made. I talk to Glenn the owner on a weekly basis and have grown a great relationship with them. It’s far from just something free.

Basically the exact same set up I'm running. The philosophy behind it, not the gear, as a matter of fact all the gear is different, but same action composite rod, same gear ratio, and hooks. The only thing I'm doing different this year is, I've gone to 20# braid to leader. We'll see how it works

Why coploymer? Doesn't the mono aspects of it prevent it from getting as deep as needed?
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
cmatix1008 no. Copoly is acataully neutrally buoyant so whenever you put it in the water column that's where it's going to stay. Plus is super strong and super abrasion resistant.

Like the intro! I have a similar setup and also love cranking. Have you fished any of the newer Berkley dredger crank baits? I have had great success with these. Also the stock Berkley fusion hooks are pretty sweet.
kent m
kent m - 6 years ago
I have had that problem with the bandit 200. But I found out it was because I had been slapping the bait on the water to remove grass and junk it picked up off the bottom. Once I stopped that never had it happen again.
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
kent m I did last season a lot! I had some issues with the hook hangers pulling out. Lost a couple of big fish. I shelfed them for a while. A representative at Berkley said they were addressing the issue. I might pick a few up and try them again.

What does the tournament pro have that the speed spool doesn't? I've got a bunch of the speed spools and I've never used a tournament pro? Also how does the tournament pro compare to the bb1 pro? It's my understanding that the bb1 pro was designed to throw crankbaits? Have I asked to many questions? Am I getting on your nerves? Haha kidding, good informative video as usual.

Alex Rudd Fishing I was talking about the LFS. You answered my question though. Thanks!
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
John Bolton well which speed spool are you talking about? The custom, LFS, American Hero? There are a ton lol. The BB1 Pro is a work horse it does eveyehting well. I don't like it for this setup because the spool is to deep and makes it harder to throw these smaller baits.

Not everyone can afford $300 plus for one rod reel line bait setup. Seems like these days you have to work a second job just to buy fishing gear.
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
Jeremy Newhouse I knew a comment like this was coming. This is MY perfected system. Your perfected system could look completey different depending on your budget, needs, wants, skill level. You build your system so it fits you not me. I'm just sharing mine for the people who want to know. Plus you can take the info (rod power, gear ratio, line) and build a more affordable system. I would look into Lews budget stuff. I own 4 LFS ($99) reels and they perform very well. Thanks for watching!

What's the difference between the P-Line CXX and the CXX Extra strong? I've been using the standard CXX for about 15 months or so based on one of your recommendations, and I've caught some big fish I would have lost otherwise. (I had a 6 lber wrap me around a piece of 3/8" all thread that someone used as a marker for a piling just below the surface)
Alex Rudd Fishing
Alex Rudd Fishing - 6 years ago
They are the same thing. For some reason some retailers out the extra strong in the description others don't. Im glad you've had so much success with it!

That's great man! In our industry we love keeping it local. Small business owners and what not.

Until then I'll go ahead and throw some designs together for yah. Peace bro, tight lines
