Wider Vs. Skinnier Crankbaits

Recommended Posts

To me, thin is 1/4 to 3/8" wide with flat sides. The wiggle is faster and sharper than a round bait, with less tail displacement. Some use them only when the water is cool in spring and fall but I like them year round, especially in and around shallow cover. The negative about them is the castability is usually not as good as medium or fat baits. But that's not a big issue when fishing cover and they seem to catch more fish for me, in more varied water conditions. JMHO

Thanks bob, I should have specified that I was refering to muskie baits when I said "thin".
