- I get this question all the time. What is the Best Prespawn Bass Lure of ALL TIME? If I could only pick one which would it be? And as I look back at my career the one lure that consistently keeps popping up in my head that has caught me big bass throughout my career HANDS DOWN is the CRANKBAIT! Here's why this lure made it to the top spot!

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Mr Ike You are the man. Thank you very much for this great information you are sharing with us. You are an excellent teacher, and I enjoy watching you unwrap all you knowledge on us. I love you brother.
Usually have to pay for this level of instruction. Thanks Ike!
you're welcome!!!
That explains why I got so many bites I was adding in a twitch as I was retrieving thanks for covering open water as well Mike thanks for sharing and all you do 👍👍
Went to Meijer's today. They sale Rapala DT 6's. One Red craw, Two Helsinki Shad's. A little expensive there. But found them before there all gone. Here Fishy, Fishy! Shawn.
logging on to tackle warehouse to spend some money
Instant subscribe! Gonna watch all your videos and stay up all night! 😂
Welcome aboard! Never Give Up!
First thought shad rap.and DT 6,8,10.the 16 on points
Really information. When test line do recommend when using floro and mono. I will be using a 7’2 Ike delay casting rod! Thanks.
What causes bass to swim in 8’ of water with their back fin out of the water . Seen 2 within 100 yards of each other. Water temp 65, feb. 19. 2022. Central Florida.
What dt series would u recommend for bank fishermen. I'm thinking a dt 6
I tell you, the best crank is ott's rapala crankbait with the circuit board bill. Much better than the ike's dt's. LOL nah Im just kiddin, it's a good lure, but I still will take a dt6, 8, or 10 all day long. A dt is a confidence bait for me.
Prespawn is over, come and gone for this season and didn’t have to sit thru a 6 hr $149.99 class ike still the man!
That Dt6 top secret it did get me 2 pb last year I'll see what happens in April
Lots of good info....Thanks!!
you're welcome!!
I'm a bank bass fisherman but the same applies and thanks Mike
What time does Utah lakes hit PreSpawn and Spawn? I live in St George.
A fishing class with a pro like ike is pretty cool and if you apply his tips you will catch more I know I have.
You are better at explaining the key points thanks
Great episode
thank you!!
Does Rapala even make a lipless?!?
rapala rippin' rap!!!
What size line would you use mike.
DT 6 in any crawfish pattern is a killer. Especially on rivers.
You make me a better fisherman. Look out fish👍😎
DT is money! literally one of if not the best crank ever invented. I’ve put more fish in the yak off that entire series than any other crank I’ve used
It's hard to beat!!!
Anyone who fishes a lot truly realize what Mike is saying is not just a bunch of made crap! I am no pro by any means but I do know from my own experience he is talking spot on facts! Thanks Mike for sharing true facts about the pre-spawn!
Thanks Dave! Just trying to share knowledge! Thanks for watching!
Great video great content..u kno ur stuff&explain things great!. Thx brother!
you're welcome Trevor!!
I've wanted a dt 8 for the past 5 yrs. Finally! So much confidence in rapala. BTW try crankin with braid. No line resistance. Maximum depth. U will be amazed how sensitive it is. U feel everything..the slightest tick. U know exactly what the bait is doing... the line becomes a telegraph. U learn to adjust your bite reaction. Only exception for me is in higher water clarity.
Was hearing asking as you have some forgiveness somewhere in your set up wether it is in the rod or line your good I fish braid to fluro a lot and I love it
I grabbed a bunch of DT6’s and I love them
Great instructional video. Lots of good info, simply stated. I'm a big fan of the dt 6 and have two boxes organized by color type.
It's truly a legendary bait!!!
Thank you so much for the information. Always appreciate the way you break things down
you're welcome Aaron!!
Awesome info, Brother...and loving the manchu mustache!
hahahaha, thank you!!
Lookalike the tiger king haha
Mike You are such a great teacher, love your seminars!
Excellent instruction Mike just want to ask you that bandit 8 to 12 foot crank. Red on one side chartreuse on the other is awsome for me.
Great timely information Ike! I love fishing rip rap with the crankbait bouncing it off the rocks! Good luck at the Harris Chain and the rest of the elite season!
Excellent excellent video Ike. Chock full of great information. Take care.
Awsome video man keep up the amazing work mustache is lookin awsome
thank you!!!
Feel like ive been buying all the wrong equipment for crankbaits lol. Probably explains why i suck with them! Thanks Mike for the great tip and thorough explanation. Boosting an average angler one step higher.
Glad to hear it, good luck out there!!
I fish DT-4's and DT-6's all the time. I don't catch a lot of Bass, but I caught my biggest Cutthroat last year trolling a DT-4 Big Shad.
Wow, lots to break down there! What lb test flouro though? Again it all depends but typically what is your go to?
I'd say 12 is a great all-around for crankbait fishing!
@@mikeiaconellifishing thanks!!!
Dt 6/8 around riprap is money every time
Thanks Mike 10 -15# fluro
Yes Sir!!
You are the best
love the way you break things down, I went to 60/40 monofilament flouro last season and it paid off for bank fishing for sure!
Your teaching is incredible, thank you sincerely
you are sincerely welcome!!
Totally agree..
only thing is the gear ratio .. 5.3:1 for me .. yes I’m old .. 😎
Preach preacher ike lol. Just how you remind me. Lol. Any advice for bank fishing
Who would have known that it would be a lure he. Designed! 😴😝😝😝
Hi Mike I'm 77 n remember my dad n his buddies calling crankbaits plugs lol great video bob d
Would love a video on how fish move on the great ponds/ small lakes in the northeast like mass nh and Maine. I often find it hard to imagine the bass’ movements on smaller bodies
Thank you Ike!
you're welcome!!
Thanks. Have a couple of DT's but the red crayfish colored is gonna be ordered
It’s hard watching all these fishing channels talking about pre spawn and spring time. It’s snowing in Oklahoma…
Which baitcasting reel do you get the most casting distance. Thanks
Yea the dt4 and 6 are my go to lures!! I have to try the slim line
I love the background! What a legend!
He did his homework. Very smart man.
Great video, well done!
thank you!!!
I’m all in on the rod but all reels are good!
Red deep baby N
Love the plugs, but what about in shallow grass like the Potomac river? Thanks!
Try throwing a red Cordell lipless.They are the lightest in that category so they won't dig into to deep and can be easily ripped thru shallow grass.Change the hooks .
You really are elite!
Who else wants there beard like this lmao 🤣
It's a mustache....
Love it , Mr.Mikeeeeeee
Crank baits go deep and stay deep. What goes deep and comes up at the same angle as your line when you’re bank fishing?
We love using the Storm Thundercraw from the bank. It has a slower fall than lipless lures. If you are worried about getting caught up, keep the rod tip up and it won't dig in and cost you 10 lures a trip. : ) Crawfish colors are great this time of year as well. It works well in a ton of scenarios. The Thundercraw can really shine over, through, and around grass.
@@ThePerfectComboFishing Thanks. New Melones is the only bass lake I can access, and it’s loaded with drowned oaks. If I had a boat, I could supplement my Social Security by following the falling shoreline, looking for lures to repair and sell.
Got it, thx!
I think I might be one of the few people with zero confidence in billed crank baits. They just aren’t consistent enough for me to make it a “go to” lure. Now lipless, that’s a whole different story.
To me, it’s those treble hook hanging down, looking for a submerged branch to grab hold of.
@@ricksonora6656Agreed, but it’s not just the snags. I just don’t catch fish with them. If there was a contest to see who brings in the most grass, leaves and muck, the occasional plastic bag or random piece of trash, I’d be the Grand Puba of all time. Best fish I ever caught was when I tail snagged a 2 pound or so channel.
@@bubbylove75 I caught a nice catfish about 45 years ago. Aside from that, I share your pain. Have you read up on bass seasonal behaviors? Where they go and feed on different times of year? I’m hoping I can turn my luck around. I hope you can, too.
@@ricksonora6656 I’m not big on catfish. My best one was caught while I was float fishing a creek for panfish on a Gulp Minnow. 12 pounder on 4lb test and an ultra light set up. Took me almost 20 minutes to get him in. That was fun.
Also I’ve read up and watched tons of videos on migration patterns, water temp, weather, water quality…. I even read that it’s a good idea to carry a water test kit for salinity because that effects something or other. Sometimes I just shut all that off and just fish.
My local big box stores finally put the DT8 on the shelves last week. Had to buy about 10 plugs to fill in that DT6-DT10 gap.
Love the stash...
Thanks Mike for the tips & techniques to help us catch more fish God bless you!
