He explains how these baits are efficiency machines when fished across shallow flats - places where a spinnerbait or ChatterBait might come to mind. In typical crankbait fashion, deflecting the bait off wood and rock is an effective triggering mechanism. THE BEST ROD SETUP FOR FINESSE CRANKBING Understanding the challenges of casting light crankbaits, Cobb discusses his preference for a slower, moderate power rod such as his signature ARK Cobb Series jerkbait rod, which does crankbait double duty equally well. He pairs his rod with a reel tuned for light baits and 10- to 12-pound fluorocarbon, depending on the conditions. HOW TO FISH FINESSE CRANKBAITS IN COOL AND COLD WATER Cobb details the distinct approach needed for finesse cranking in cool water seasons; he advises using a higher gear ratio reel during fall and switching to a slower 5.4:1 gear ratio in winter. Additionally, he shares a tip on rod positioning and moderating his retrieve speed to reduce gumming up the hooks with bottom debris. TARGETING THE CHOICEST COVER Cobb discusses focusing on wood and shallow flats, typical hotspots for bass in the fall. He explains the importance of keeping baits clean from debris and why erratic rod action can be crucial in these conditions. Expanding on fall patterns, he emphasizes targeting the ends of laydowns or docks where bass ambush baitfish. He explains the strategic importance of these areas and how bass behavior changes in cooler months.
