Crankbait difference thin vs wide bodied

As we continue to take a look at catching fall fish and the tackle we use, the Crankbait is a very productive tool that catches numbers and good sizes of fish. We can break the Crankbait down into two categories at this time, the fat bodied and the thin bodied Crankbait. There are many other things to talk about the Crankbait with many different features that they all offer, but for the fall fishing we are going to take a look at these two features. The fat bodied Crankbait is a bait that works very well in warm water conditions and when the fish are feeding aggressively. In the fall this bait works well when the fish are schooled together and chasing bait, at these times they are very aggressive and will chase anything that is placed in the right position. But, many times in the cold fall time fishing, these same fish can be fairly lethargic as well and are not willing to chase a very active bait. This is when the thin bodied Crankbait excels and this bait can be retrieved at a slower rate and worked easier through the last green weeds we are fishing. By using a thin bodied crank, this may give you the angler that extra edge that these dormant fish are looking for that other anglers can't seem to figure out how to get a bite. Next time you are out give this a try and see if this can put a few more fish into your boat.
