Going Deep with Cranks - Hard Baits https://tackleporn.com/community/hard/going-deep-with-cranks/ Home Of Tackle Enthusiasts Worldwide en-US Thu, 13 Aug 2026 18:55:09 +0000 wpForo 60 RE: Going Deep with Cranks https://tackleporn.com/community/hard/going-deep-with-cranks/paged/2/#post-5593 Sat, 29 Nov 2025 01:03:05 +0000 @goldrod Truth. I often wish for God's justice, but really none of us truly can handle that. We need His grace, and we need it immeasurably.

 

Thank you for this post. I didn't forget to respond I have been coming back to it , again and again. In church there was a movie where this man lost his daughter ( she was murdered when they went camping if I am not mistaken) and he wanted vengeance, but he found grace for himself and was able to extend it to others. Thank for this post. i often revisit it .

sucks that I got janked out of some money two days ago. Scammed and just felt crummy afterwards not going to lie about it.. But i had to forgive and move on and learn from it. 

we all have to give account of our deeds and words when this life is over so hopefully the person will turn their life around.  but for me i have to move on .. 

looking to get this new crankbait.. cant wait for the drop

The WP Slant is magic for those big cranks and as a result, I’m partial to offshore, deep water cranking. I agree…the 3D braking is absolutely outstanding in the wind. Although it’s not JDM and much more vanilla, I will say the 10XD casts a bit better than many other big cranks. 

 

now thats a badd  mama jama setup..!! To the Max!!

I've been honing my deep cranking skills up here in the New England areas using a G. Loomis IMX-PRO 906C CBR cranking rod. This rod is 7'-6" medium/heavy...moderate action. I find it to be much lighter than a fiberglass rod and it helps with fatigue over the long day. The length allows me to bomb the heavier plugs with ease and the sensitivity and parabolic bend of this rod are fantastic. 

I will pair this rod up with either an Ian built Steez 100SHL Super Cranker or a TD-Z IOOML that are both in the 5:1 gear ratio.

Trying to get to the depths (20 and deeper) that you mentioned, I would suggest a couple of crank baits that I find to be excellent. One is the Spro Little John DD70 which gets you down to 20 feet and the other is ......(don't judge me)... 6'th Sense Cloud 9 Series C-25 baits (25 feet plus).

The 6'th Sense baits are cheap $$ and fantastic baits. Great finish/colors and run extremely straight right out of the box. Try to forget the brand....just fish the performance.

I'm using 12lb Seaguar InvizX line. This pound test gets my baits down deep quickly and the action of the rod allows me to land 99% of the fish with ease.

Up here in New England when using the deep cranks I don't use the craw colors, I stick to shad colors, natural shads, chartreuse/blk, chartreuse/blus, citrus shad

   

 

Thanks 

no judgement but I was just looking at those cloud 9’s. Seems like the name would be more about something beneath the clouds 😂

FWIW, Leviathan MH Swimbait rods are killer for the ~ 2oz DD type baits.
