Buyer's Guide: Squarebills and Lipless Crankbaits For Every Season

Today’s Buyer’s guide is all about the reaction bite. In an effort to pack in as much information as possible, we’ve combined two of the largest crankbait categories into our final buyer’s guide of the season. We’re looking at shallow crankbaits for triggering a reaction bite, then switching gears to lipless crankbaits and exploring the best baits for fishing shallow grass flats, the best baits for deep water applications, and everything in between.

Choosing the right crankbait is a combination of 3 variables. First, do you want sound? Second, how large are the baitfish or crawfish you’re imitating? And finally, how deep (or shallow) do you need to reach? Answering these 3 questions will guide you to the best bait in your box, every time. From there, a small selection of colors is all you need to meet every situation.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits in every size and depth range. We’ve included our favorite colors, along with the rods, reels, and gear you’ll need to be successful on the water. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
