Bass Fishing, Changes To Your Crankbait Action Summer, Fall, Winter!

Add a little tungsten to your crankbait belly and you change the action, depth, and buoyancy — the simple crankbait modification that triggers more strikes on tough days.

This is how to fish a crankbait when the stock lure is getting ignored. Many bank and shore anglers never tweak buoyancy, so the bait runs wrong for the water and the fish. In this bass fishing tips breakdown, I show exactly how adding tungsten weight fine-tunes crankbait fishing depth and movement for ponds, lakes, and pressured water — no boat, no fancy gear.

You’ll learn:
• Why a few grams on the belly changes crankbait action and sink rate
• How to apply tungsten so you don’t trash the lure
• When denser water / colder conditions need a different run
• How to match depth and wobble so bass commit

If stock fishing lures have been quiet, this bass fishing technique turns “dead” crankbaits into consistent producers from the bank. Same idea works for beginners and anyone doing pond fishing or shore fishing who wants more bites without spending $200 on tackle.
