Your Current Lipless Crank Bait Set Up ? 2024


fishing user avatarChrisD46 reply : 

As the title suggests what is your current lipless crank bait set up : Rod , Reel , Gear Ratio and Line ? ... Specifically looking to target Central Florida lakes during a near future trip - thanks in advance !


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

7' MH/F (fishes more like a MH/MF) Ethos, KastKing Assassin 6.3, Berkley Big Game 15lb. 

 

You're probably going to be fishing around grass though, which I'm not. You might want to be tossing them on braid to help rip out of the weeds and to help cut through grass while you're fighting fish. 


fishing user avatarfishnkamp reply : 

Irod Genesis LL  Gabe's rip rap special. Itis basically a 7 foot medium moderate although they call it a fast action rod.  The reel is a Diawa Tatula Type R 6.3 to i and 12 pound P Line Floroclear.

If I am fishing over grass or over structure this is my preferred rig. If there is more vegetation or junk around I use another similar rod bit it has 30 Power Pro on it.

fishing user avatarGoose52 reply : 

I fish lipless cranks on a bunch of different rods, depending on conditions, but the general, all-around rig in open water is:

 

Daiwa Tatula rod - 7'7" medium - "regular" (moderate-fast)

Daiwa Tatula reel - 6.3:1

15 lb Big Game line

I haven't made a cast yet this season.   While I've replaced/upgraded some rods & reels in the starting line up, the lipless crank rig is the same as last year.   7' Bucco Trap Caster , Calcutta 200 TEGT and 17 or 20 Iron Silk line.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

If I'm ripping weeds, I prefer a fast action rod.  For bouncing off boulders or rip-rap, a moderate action rods suits me better.  Use the lure weight to match with the right power rod - usually a medium will do, unless they're really heavy traps.


fishing user avatarHawkeye21 reply : 

I try to have specific set ups when I start the season but as the year goes on my set ups get pretty mixed up.  When I'm out fishing on my kayak and I need to switch things up I don't really care or have the option of which pole I use so I may have a bit of a jumble.

 

My most used pole last year was a 7' MHF Berkley Lightning Rod Shock with the tip busted off so it was more like 6'6" with a Pflueger President spinning reel spooled with 15 lb braid that was on it's third season.  I caught more fish on this than any other spinning or baitcast combo.

 

My favorite lure is the Strike King Red Eye Shad in Orange Craw.

Falcon bucoo trap caster paired with a super tuned shimano citica g spooled with 12lb invisx 


fishing user avatarBigGame0892 reply : 

7 ft MH Dobyns 705 CB Glass, Shimano Curado E5 and 12 lb. Yozuri hybrid.  This Dobyns rod is stiffer with a slightly faster action than most glass rods out there.  It handles a lot of different crankbait applications for me very well.


fishing user avatartholmes reply : 

Abu Vendetta 7'M/fast (fishes somewhere between M and MH). Abu Record 40, 10lb. Trilene Big Game.

 

For the 3/4 oz. 7'6" MH/Mod.  Fenwick (I can't remember the model, it's old, and so am I), Abu Ambassadeur 5600C4 Mag., 12 lb. Big Game.

I mostly use a bps extreme rod, MH with mod fast tip. Curado 7:1 reel with 12 lb Invizx. 


fishing user avatarMosster47 reply : 

7'8" Phenix M1, MH/F (very soft rod though), Lew's Tournament Lite 7:1, 20lb PP Super Slick 8, 10lb fluoro leader if I'm in open water, 15lb fluoro leader in grass.


fishing user avatarnew2BC4bass reply : 

Picked up a 7'2" Medium Mod-Fast HMG at the suggestion of smalljaw67.  Currently has a Zillion 7.1 with 12 mono on it.  Reel might get changed out, but line will probably stay the same.


fishing user avatarBigchunk reply : 

7'6 crucial cb w 15lb fc and 6.3 gears. Would rather more high speed though.


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

G.Loomis PR845C with Daiwa Fuego and 12lb BG mono, use this for most of my smaller crank baits, including lipless.

;)

I know ~  I had to.  With so many stud BR bassheads all using it successfully, the peer pressure was too much.  I caved.

Sort of glad I did - like the line in the right situations - but even though I try to buy in bulk, I'll never like the price.

Yea.  I love the MB too.  I have a couple on other setups.  nice reel!


fishing user avatarthebillsman reply : 

Just bought a Kistler KLX 7' M/MF for cranks, jerks and topwater. Took it out this morning with the sole goal of working lipless cranks, it did really well.

Do you not throw lipless cranks or do you not have a dedicated rod? The two i listed are used for quite a few other things. I'm curious if you do not like the baits.
