Speed Cranking Tricks For Fall And Winter Bass!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2024
- This is the future of crankbait fishing! Don't miss the boat! Speed cranking is completely changing how anglers fish in the Fall and Winter! We used to think of the cold water months as slow periods but not anymore. Grab a speed crank, a high speed reel, and burn up that cold water! Let's go!!
The concept of triggering a feed response in a bass is not new, but the reality of being able to do it in the coldest water temperatures of the year is amazing! Winter fishing is a lot more fun when you're burning a bait instead of finesse fishing. Not only will this method of fishing catch bass all Winter, it is capable of catching the biggest bass in the lake!
Below you'll find a breakdown of the exact baits, colors, hooks, and equipment we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#bassfishing #crankbait #Winterfishing - กีฬา
Burn burn burn pause, with your designed bait, got me in to tenth place on amateur side at Havasu‘s Won Bass Open this year, on the second day of the event. I could have probably won the Tournament but my last day partner had no water, and we were blind because his maps didn’t work.
We were still able to crank up two nice fish that kept me in check range.
The second day of the tournament, was magical, I put four fish in the boat within an hour and a half, and my pro put two in the boat. I was able to cull one in the last few minutes of the tournament. We had no fish in the boat before that and got it all done in an hour and a half.
My 7“ Daiwa Tattula was overpowered by my high speed Corrado. I had to drop down in gear ratio to get it done. I believe I needed a longer heavier crank rod to handle the higher speed reels.
Thank you Matt, and Tim for designing these baits.
Great video.
Really cold and rainy here in Italy in the last days but i adore crankbait fishing
Do you guys have largemouth bass in Italy?
@@DoctorSess yes, largemouth only
th-cam.com/video/WGEAaaMvpRU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=POJGtwdUP3QzQ4T3
85% of my bites on any species comes
On the pause !!! Keep it up Italy 🇮🇹 🎉
@@jamesdurante5483 thanks !!! 👍
One thing you have taught me over the years, is when I look at the title of a video and assume it's not in my wheelhouse or my style of fishing. Once I watch it, you have still taught me something new. Appreciated greatly, great video, tutorial. Don't stop
Thats awesome! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you, Matt; I'm looking forward to watching this one later. Good luck to anyone heading out to have a go at the bass today. I hope you all have a great Friday and a relaxing weekend!
Back atcha, Brotha!
Tight lines! 🎣 🤙🏾
I'm horrible at this. Dying to get time to practice. Im literally going to speak out loud when I do it “Burn..burn..burn PAUSE..Burn.. burn.. burn..pause!”💪
I did and it didn't work too well for me 😅
Rick Clunn was doing this 30 years ago, and kicking butt with it too! Good ol' Rippin' Rick Clunn!
Got a TacticalDD for Christmas. Smoked them yesterday in North Texas with it. Thank you Matt and Tim for all of the tips!
That's so awesome!!! Way to go!!
How convenient… just order a DD crank in the norther special color last night lol. Tactical DD crank is responsible for my 6.11 PB November 25th 41° water.
In Houston we just got the cold weather bite yesterday, and I speed cranked at sunrise and got 6 big bass in like 30 minutes. It was great!
Thanks Matt! Never really tried winter fishing in cold water but I’m gonna give it a go now.
I love your videos. They are very helpful and informative. Great job. Keep it up
Burn, burn, burn, *pause* is my go-to technique that's what she said
Thanks!
Been getting cold up here but I have been killing with speed so far! Thank you as always Tactical Bassin' for great teaching!
Matt- just want to say thank you for taking my fishing to the next level. Watched your fall video on smaller baits after a week of being skunked, went out with small baits and started catching consistently again. 🎣
Last winter, I had a DD crank bait stuck so far back in the fishes mouth. I had to take my winter gloves off to get it out lol it works.🐟🐟🐟 eight pounder in the boat
I’ve enjoyed using the Levante Flat side the last couple years as my every day Crankbait rod.
Spooled up three reels with the Sunline Shooter Invisible last February. Yip, it STILL has no memory, and has held it’s beautiful green/brown/grey color almost perfectly. I agree it is incredible lasting line!
Great knowledge matt I was using your guys bait in the delta yesterday did well on stripers I was singing burn burn pause even had a sway in the hips,long live TB
Inadvertently did this with a jerkbait. Was just bringing the bait (vision 110+) to proper depth very quickly and Bang. 6.5 pounder. Love the show. Peace out be safe
My biggest bass bag ever came on the Tactical DD braid to leader burn burn burn pause and was getting smoked. It really works amazing
Up here in the north you can catch them even colder than 37 speed cranking. There has been multiple times where most of the lake was already frozen and the lake was literally freezing around my boat and I could still catch them speed cranking. When it’s that cold it’s one of the only things you can actually catch them on.
👏👏👏 thank you Matt and Tim for giving us completely everything straight from the heart ❤️
As always you guys are simply awesome. I’m tweaking my Shimano K with 12lb FC and the Bantam with 20lb braid to 12FC leader. Love the crank crank crank pause with emphasis on dead stop pause. Shasta Lake in 2 weeks speed cranking.
How'd that go
Thanks matt this one was really really good.I watched it twice.I slide that deep x 200 into my line up also and its a home run.
I’ll have to give it a try this weekend on the river. My fish have moved to their winter holes and I know where they are. Should be interesting. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for this. Going out for my last time this Sunday before we hit our ice season. Been wanting to try speed cranking for a while in the late fall.
Burn, Burn, Burn, pause merch!!!
Excellent Excellent information and video. Thanks for sharing.
Insane timing. I threw on a tactical DD 75 yesterday when I was having a hard time getting bites shallow moved out deep with in a few casts burning and pausing that DD 75 I was on ! 🔥
yep, replacing to a st 35 saves the crank too, I have sank 3 dd75's from the hook rash...sooo much better
Thank You Matt...
Been Speed Crankin ur Tactical ever since ur first speed crankin video !
Works awsome !
I also have done well with the Yo Zuri Hardcore Shad in the 75 size.
Just a thought.
Again,
Thank you for all the Great Videos over the years.
Robert Bently George
Another amazing seminar! Thank You Matt and Tim for everything you both do!!
lol his name is Matt, not Tim
It works. Been deep cranking the ca delta catching numbers
Great video as always cant wait to see yall at ladson tomorrow
I was using a DT 6 speed cranking the Susquehanna river the other day and was catching small mouth.
What do you think about the Norman Deep little N
I fish shallow. Maybe 5ft at the deepest. Could I use a lipless crank bait for this technique? I picked up a few flat sided crank baits. I love them so far. Thanks for the videos.
Yo Matt you need to make a Tactical Bassin Tshirt that says "Burn Burn Burn Pause"
How much (length) of a leader do you use for braid to leader?
I had a similar bite going on with the jackall deracoup 1/2 Oz. 3 or 4 hard turns of the reel, with a quick pause. The fish knocked the crap out of it on the pause.
I use the megabass flap slap diving. I wanted to speed crank but my water isn't over 10 ft so I needed a 7-8 ft bait. I've caught 7 pounders in less than 2 feet of water jerking it but it gets down to 8 ft and has a fast rise so it backs out of cover really good.
You guys ever try those KVD Triple Grip short shanks? I’ve been throwing them on my cranks lately. Can size up a little bit with that short shank, super sticky, decently priced. Been pretty impressed with them. 😊
Hey Matt!!
I've never heard you mention a flicker shad,and seems to me it would work perfectly for this technique, let me know if you've tried it,and if it's successful for you thanks.
Keep up the good work.
You’re being a little modest on when to crank your DD75. Middle spring I was speed cranking bridge piers and wearing them out for over 2 hours. 4to 1
Lbs. over 40 bites this spring. All suspended rotating to different piers every 15 -20’minutes.
My arms were ready to fall off, but lots of fun.
Great Video Matt, Thanks.
You forgot to say how well it works in warm water as well I only throw conventional do to snook so the only way I new was burn burn burn pause wammmmm it works good stuff buds 😎🔥💨💨💨
Some of the best "thinking out of the box" fishing, comes from this channel. I absolutely love the information and explanations. When I'm in a slump, i always remember to change things up, as you have suggested. I'm no pro or accomplished angler, I'm winging it like alot of guys(and gals) do, but because of this channel i never feel out of ideas. Don't get me wrong, i do have bad days where the bite never comes, after hours of trying. I just feel more equipped with ideas because of you fellas.
2024 can't come quick enough, ive set my sights on hitting it hard and often. Been doing more outfitting myself than getting out there, since mid September. Come spring fishing here in Michigan, I'm confident I'll have better gear, thats more style specific, to get the action better tuned in with what I'm throwing. Prior to September 2023, i was always a one or two rod/reel, from Walmart. Never paying attention to what I'm throwing on whatever rod. If i could tie something on, it was fine. NOW i know braid and Fluorocarbon use, proper test strengths, matching rods to styles and why i need them for the different baits. Won't even get into the bait selections...lol
All in all, thank you thank you for all the clinics you guys have put on. Tight lines my fishing fiends.
Have you ever tried the berkley frittside 5? It's pretty beast.
My Shimano reels SLX 150 XG works great with my DD 75 crank baits
Now I have a new Curado, DC 200 XG.
It’s sweet!!!!!!! Plan to catch a 10 pounder on it this fall and winter
🐟🐟🐟🐟😎 boat parts lake …. Georgia 😎
Thanks Matt, with the braid setup, how long should my leader be for this technique. For my confidence. Also the video with your dad was special, brought me way back. Thanks
Duo realis made it in finally
Great video (as usual) and I just wanted to add to the round bend hook points convo... I have found that sickle point hooks (inward bend) that with mini tube jig fishing that because they often slap at it like you mention that I will miss MANY strikes... but when I can finally hook one on the sickle hooks that the hook STAYS in and even often times I need pliers to get the hook out... I'd suggest these hooks for fishing applications where you NEED the hook to stay in and not pop out and the fish are not slapping at your bait... other than that I stay far away from these kinds of hooks.
Wow, that's incredible! Can you suggest some distributor names where I can buy them? I'm particularly interested in lead baits.
I've been speed cranking with the Norman just to standard's crank bait.
Hi matt I love watching your videos, tactical bassin is a great channel. Unfortunately in england we dont have bass, do you think these tips would work for northern pike/muskie and european or yellow perch. Randy blaukat seems to think that all predators (underwater) have the same responses, id be really interested in your thoughts on that. A good angler in england has mentioned that european perch have similiar feeding habits to smallmouth bass. Do you think there is much difference between largemouth and smallmouth(would you use different tactics to target the two species), also would speed cranking work for smallmouth and also your yellow perch. Thanks in advance if you do respond, take care and tightlines greetings from england 👍
No fishing for me, but that's OK. It was 23° yesterday and 26° today. Thanks so much for showing some blue gil lures in your swim bait video. Now that I'm a little farther North, I'll need them when I'm able to fish from shore.
Matt, great video. I’m going to pickwick next weekend and it will probably be a good time to try this technique. I don’t have any of these deep river and plan to pick a couple up but I do have a spro little John DD. The over sized crank that gets down to around 20’. Any experience with that one for deep speed cranking??
Great stuff as usual. Hey Matt, you linked the Tat XT glass rod. Didn't you mean the regular $150 Tatula rod? Tho the 7' in the $150 model is M, not MH.
I’ve caught some of my nicest smallmouth burning a jig through the water.
Thanks for your work, I do speed cranking for pike in Ukraine.
Hey guys great video! Is there anything that would prompt you to slow crank over speed cranking?
Like what would make you do one or the other?
The only time we slow down is if they're not eating it, or the water is really, really dirty.
So is the Rapala Dives-to series a decent option for this? Cause I can find them easier than anything around here in Georgia.
Is there a bait I could use that is good for 6-8 foot deep ponds filled with 1/2 pound bass? Something like the spro rkcrawler, but a little better, or will the rkcrawler work on mud bottoms?
Great stuff! Has the rock crawler come off the list?
Hey Matt: Great info as always. I’m just curious other than ice out can the water temps get cold enough where fish get so inactive it’s not worth going out and fishing? PS I think a great video for you guys to do,is time and place when balsa baits are the most effective and what baits and gear you guys use for them. Thanks…🎣😎🐝
8:37 You heared a ghost lol
Have heard yall mention the spro Rkcrawler for speed cranking in many other vids why was it not included here? Have you decided that it doesn't perform as well as the other baits mentioned in this video?
does this apply to fishing on the bank near coastal rivers like california
Can you speed crank in a small pond with the shallow running flat side cranks?
Yes 👍🏼
Do you check cranks for suspending?
What brand and type of braid for the 20# that you mentioned?
You guys don’t run any osp blitz? I see duo and megabass
@tacticalbassin are you using sonar to see where the fish are and throwing it right by them?
If you have it, you can. But no, we developed this method long before anyone had live. You can cover so much water because of the speed that it's effective either way.
Could you use a Shad rap 9 in a Shad color for deep speed cranking
It will roll over or blow out so to say when fished as fast as he is talking about
@@HowieDewitt7575 ok 👍 thanks I appreciate the feedback but could I tune it to make it run better
1 fish on a jerkbait in 4 hours, 30 fish in 2 hours speed crankin last weekend. Working for me here in Michigan.
Sweet ❤❤
What is a good speed crank for 5 feet of water?
You guys sell any BBBP merch? Lol if not get on it!
Matt, could you use a MB Levante EMTF for this technique?
What’s up brother. 🤫I’m not Matt 🤫but yea you can use it on bigger DDC’s also I love a magnum square bill with heavy 2X-3X hooks. That’s just MY PERSONAL OPINION and how I fish I don’t set the hook I side lean and crank and something run mono with a 4’ FC leader on it. And only throw 1/2oz-5/8oz or bigger. But you can play with it and see what is best for how an where you fish. 🙏🏼🤙🏼 hope that helps you some to start dialing in. Go hammer some brother and have a safe fall winter spring out there 🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love the content, but I know there are Berkley baits that are top baits that are never mentioned. Jerkbait Stunna, flatside Frittside. I just don't get it.
Bass are just underwater cats. With no hands…
ive litterly been speed cranking since I was 10, im mid 40's now I thought everyone fished crank baits like this except I burn and jerk I fish cranks like this all year ....bandit 200 bait
For those of you whom enjoy speed cranking balsa wood square Bills - the Reel and pop like a jerk bait is the ticket.
Yeah, we've heard it ... we want to wear it! Where are the shirts?
My lake is max 12’…can i still speed crank with squarebills?
Yes
Last weekend I tested out some new rods I built. I was seeing what would work, and I tied a swim jig on one. Without thinking about it, I started talking to myself "burn burn burn pause, burn, pause, burn burn pause, burn burn pause" and hit a 3+. I laughed after that.
No forward sonar. How can I know precisely my bait’s running depth? (Aside from bait’s stated range profile). I really want this to work.
Not possible to know EXACTLY...depends on alot of factors....that's where skills comes into play, instead of FFS....I start with a deep diver, trying to dig the bottom...if I see fish suspended a little off the bottom, I continue to go shallower..example...strike king 10xD...if im hitting bottom & fish appear a little off the bottom? 8xD...fish look suspended in the middle column? 6XD and so on...that's the challenge of bass fishing...you vs fish, not FFS vs Fish
@@andybales7318 Thank you, that makes sense.
Can someone point me to where I can buy a burn burn burn pause tshirt?
Can you speed crank from the bank without getting hung up?
I’ve lost a Burrito and Flash Boost swim bait 🐟this year… what’s your list? Hmmmmmm😎
If we kept track of that we'd need a support group 😂
@@tacticalbassin have a great weekend and stay warm my friend
Matt, either y'all need to change how you identify the rods you are recommending, or the TW website needs to change the ID in their charts. For example, you said you recommend the Levante Flat Side Special rod for some speed cranking shallow. Sadly, the website doesn't label those rods with that designation. Y'all are gonna lose sales unless you change up the narration, the description in the comments, or the website.
I've tried speed cranking..hasn't worked for me yet...Got a text message from the bass in my lake saying "slow down dude"
😂 Give it time, it really is the deal.
Kinda like burning a suspending trap
DD 30 time🐟🐟🐟🐟💦
Until I started trolling, I didn't get this. I tried it, but if you aren't On the fish.. you'll quit too soon.
In other words you need 10,000 dollars in electronics to speed crank mabe you guys could do a video for guys that have a boat but not enough money to buy electronics and teach us how to better our fishing without 10k in electronics
Your videos are awesome. You would have twice as many listeners if your videos were shorter, and you do repeat yourself a lot. Just some constructive feedback coming from someone that doesn’t have much free time.
So to catch bass speed cranking, we have to order a handful of Megabass cranks because those are the only ones that will work. That what you’re saying? I get it they are the best, but the ONLY? Come on man.
