Description

Like all squarebills the S-Crank is great at deflecting off of rocks and wood. However, the bright spot for the S-Crank is in open water above weed lines or just above the bottom. The head design gives it a great hunting action. The bait will break off in one direction for a second than reacquire direction and return. This happens throughout the retrieve and it drives fish crazy!

Field Notes

This squarebill is built for deflecting off rocks and wood, making it a strong choice around shallow cover. It also shines in open water above weed lines or just above the bottom, where its hunting action can trigger reaction bites. Retrieve it steadily and let it ricochet and wander to imitate an erratic baitfish.

Pros

  • Squarebill profile excels around cover
  • Erratic hunting action can trigger reaction strikes
  • Useful in open water and along weed edges

Cons

  • Likely to snag if worked too deep in heavy cover
  • Best use is shallow to mid-shallow, not deep water
