A Classic Crankbait for Smallmouth Bass! [Fishing + TIPS]

In this episode I am out for an evening of wade fishing at one of my local rivers. The water is a little fast and stained so I decide to tie on one of my most trusted river lures: the Rebel Wee Crawfish crankbait.

The session didn’t start off great, with camera issues causing some of the first few catches to not get recorded. I make a color swap and find an ideal location for working the crankbait. Come along as I hook into a nice smallmouth bass and stick around for some analysis and discussion about how to use this lure and why it should be a part of your tackle assortment if you are fishing in river environments, or really any time you want to mimic a fleeing crawfish.

“Exploration is the most natural thing you can do.”
