How do I use a crank bait?

Answer 1

Cast it out and crank it in. SOme will sink slowly, some will only go down when you're cranking. Generally if you crank it faster it'll go deeper. Cast to the edge of cover or over an area where fish are. When you get bit, just keep cranking (don't jerk to set the hook, you'll lose a lot of fish that way).
