I love stroking a lipless! It's one of my main retrieves and can really get those fish fired up. But, I've found you need the right bait shape for it. To me, a Red Eye Shad style is perfect because of how it flutters on the fall. I haven't had the same type of success with something like a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap. Although those are great baits, they just don't stroke as well for me. And, of course, Happy Thanksgiving, Steve! Here's hoping it's a great one!
Steve thanks for the tips.
Great video, thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Good video. This is one of the best retrieves out there.
I definitely enjoy fishing it. It always amazes me how free of debris those hooks can be through a lot of stuff.
Great tips Steve and I definitely will try hopping them across flats as you suggest, thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!
Good luck! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I think I own more Lipless than any other lure. I just love the things! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Steve.
They are so fun! Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving
You too!

They do flutter really well. I you have a terrific Thanksgiving as well! Enjoy the day. I can’t wait to watch your vid after dinner!
I am going to try this out
Good luck! Hope you get a bunch and thanks for watching.
I've smoked the bass with the ol yoyo retrieve but I don't think I've gotten a single bite with a straight retrieve lipless crank
It’s crazy what a difference the retrieve can make. Such a great lure.
One of the lures I'll never use again from the bank. My lake owns 4 of mine, I wont buy any more. Caught 1 fish.
Yes, bank fishing with these can be very difficult. They would get stuck a lot depending on the water.
