2020, Muskie Fishing with Bass Crank Baits
Bass crank baits dive steeply to depth faster than musky-specific cranks, creating advantages in structure transitions and depth changes where quick descent matters. Understanding these dive curve differences and cost benefits allows anglers to expand muskie arsenals with affordable models like Strike King 10XD and Berkley Dredger 25.5 that produce strikes when applied to appropriate terrain and conditions.
