What a great Christmas gift for anyone who likes to fish! #100percentwatchsquad
Alot of good info as allways. Reely gonna try that extra crank when hiting structure. Not been that keen on crankbaits in the winter I allways seen it as a bit of a trolling bait in winter for big pike. But got myself a Norman deep little N was planing to try it out today in the river. But will fish a more of a deeper part over a mudflat as there is where the baitfish are from now to spring. But will look it in today by leaveing the ned/blades at home. xD
Dude. When you finally get to the tips, it’s a good video. BUT, You should be a door to door salesperson. Video is more about your sponsors. My advice to everyone… FAST FORWARD to the end. A lot of hot air 🎈 🎈 lost on this video that should have been 3 minutes, TOPS!
#100PWS
Bandit 300 and OSP Blitz ex dr is what's tied on for me this time of year. Catch more fish!
Hey I'm new to bass fishing I always hoped you would to a video for us guys in the marsh in south Louisiana . so I can get a better understanding of some lures . I really dig the hoodwink .I'm waiting on them to come in now!! OK thanks
🎣🤟🏻🎣🤟🏻👊🏻
I’m gonna try some Bandits. Here in Missouri it’s Wiggle Wart country
100%WS Always great info
Hey buddy! Been a second I’ve been dealing with life, I love cranking too! I got my brand new Dixie custom rod carbon elite cranking rod made for winter cranking. Got a tournament on Norris this weekend !
Love the Bandit cranks, I own a ton of them and use them all the time… #100watchsquad
I love the bandits but the pradco ones are garbage. The bills are irregular and the colors aren’t like the original ones. Does anyone else agree with me.
Thanks for your tips for winter cranking…I personally love to crank in the winter. Also, it was good to see you and Debo together last night for the live stream. #100percentwatchsquad
Another great video Hank! I’m a big fan of the Bandits too. I just went back and re-watched your total break down video again and noticed you mentioned the Little John. Man I have fell in love with that thing for a shallower diving flat side. I’ve been cranking Douglas for the last month or so and have been wacking them on several of the crank baits you mentioned in that video. This past Friday they were loving a red wiggle wart and a red Berkley money badger. It was text book conditions for a crank bait with a lot of action. Stained water, some cloud cover, and 10-15 mph west winds!
Really appreciate when you go on Debo’s livestream, makes for an enjoyable Saturday evening.
I love your videos man. Great info and Im happy you get to do it full time now. God bless!
What water temp do you prefer to crank in ? Waters already in the low 40’s in my area and the bites been tough #100PWS
Thank you for another awesome video!
Thanks for the crank bait video I love throwing the crank bait. Great job once again Hank
I wish Bandit made them in transparent Red Craw and Green Craw.
That Bandit is hard to beat! If you know, you know. I ain’t forgot!👍🏽👍🏽*black one😉
Gotta shout out the berkley dime (nice medium-tight wobble) and frittside (very tight) I've had some decent luck with the "modern" berkley baits. Durable, decent hooks. About lost my clear-blue dime this morning to a musky 😂 somehow he didnt cut the line.
Hubby and I started using your tips about crank baiting and we caught 40 fish yesterday.
We are both retired and still learning . Thanks for all your help .
Our channel is Fishing with Blake and Lisa 🙂 we have a blast 🥰
Love my lurenet boxes. Great baits every time. Love the info Hank. 💯squad
Thanks Hank for another great video. Tight lines my fellow fishing friend 🤙🏽🎣 #100percentwatchsquad
I asked this man a question yesterday and actually got a answer I know that doesn't seem to be a big deal but hey it is.. APPRECIATE THE CONSTANT CONTENT
Hey Hank. I threw a flat side crank for a bit yesterday. Didn't catch anything, but I'm starting to throw them more often this time of year. Thanks for the video big man. #100percentwatchsquad
I'm just starting to fish more cranks I've only caught a couple of bass but I'm liking the crank videos
