best time to throw flat crankbaits

[ccm]

under what conditions do you pull out flat balsa cranks? as opposed to the wobblers

[chris c]

Flat crankbaits are going to work better in cold water/tough conditions as a general rule of thumb. Wobblers when fish are active or in tight cover. Again, this is a rule of thumb, and you have to let the fish tell you what wobble they want. And there are always exceptions, as some flat baits have wide wobbles, and some round baits have tight wobbles, exc.....Then again, I throw flat baits all year long, so like I said, it is just a general rule of thumb alot of people use.

I have to agree with Chris let the fish tell what they want cause they don't read Bassmaster mag. I also throw flat crank baits all year round but I also throw the big wide wobbling baits all year round also.

"now"

i wont be throwing anything now as i have to go outside and scrape the ice off my car here in the midwest..........

The last time I fished one the net froze to the carpet and I had to rip it up when I got bit.

they will hit it year around, but i love to crank deep so i will go deep in summer. However last June hot as.... I killed them on a flatside, so just throw the thing!!!

But the best time and most fun time for these plugs is Spring for me.

I will agree with NOW Because winter seems to be the best for tight wobbling cranking and wide wobbles in the spring and summer just my experience............
