Best matches

Why these fit

If you mean “deep candy” as a candy-colored bait for deeper water, these are the strongest matches. The two 6th Sense crankbaits and the Bandit all fit deep or mid-to-deep cranking for covering water and reaching fish holding on structure. Bandit Walleye Deep-Candy Slush is best when fish are well below the surface, especially for walleye. 6th Sense Fishing Cloud 9 - Candy Citrus Shad and 6th Sense Fishing Crush DD Series - Shad Candy are strong bass options for structure and depth changes. Dreamweaver Lures LD24352 Bayrat BT Candy is the trolling pick for salmon and steelhead. If you want a softer, more versatile option, Butchers Baits 5" Kentucky Candy Soft Jerkbait can be fished weightless or deeper on a weighted rig.

Technique notes

For the crankbaits, use a steady cast-and-retrieve or troll them through points, drop-offs, and deep cover.
Let the bill deflect off rock, brush, or other cover to trigger reaction strikes.
For the soft jerkbait, rig weightless for a subtle fall, or use a weighted hook, Texas rig, Carolina rig, drop shot, or jig head to reach different depths.
If trolling, the Bandit and Dreamweaver are the most direct fits.

When to switch

Switch away from these if fish are shallow, buried in heavy cover, or want a slower bottom-oriented presentation. In that case, a jig or a softer finesse bait may be better than a deep crankbait. If you need a more weedless or bottom-contact approach around rocks and cover, a jig like 6th Sense Fishing Divine Hybrid Jig - Candy Bluegill is a better choice.
