Storm Arashi Flat 7

One of my favorites is the Arashi Flat 7. These cranks will always run true out of the package because of the self-tuning line tie. They also have a nice, tight wobbling action that's great for high pressured fish!

6th Sense Crush 250MD

Another one of my favorites is the Crush 250MD. These crankbaits have great custom colors and you truly get what you pay for in these. I'd say these are the best ones for banging off of trees or rocks.

Spro Little John XL

During the Spring this is one of my go-to crankbaits because of it's bigger size; bigger bait equals bigger fish! One thing about the Little John crankbaits is they're the easiest to tune. It makes it easy to bang em' off docks and stuff.

Jackall Muscle Deep+

I like this one as well because of the all the crankbaits I've ever used, it gets down the quickest, and it stays down there. It's a real efficient crank.

Bomber Deep Fat Free Shad

If you fish in heavily timbered areas, then you're missing out if you're not throwing this crankbait. It's basically a deep diving squarebill. Can't beat that!

I consider medium diving to be between 6' and 12'. In that range, I like Bandit 200 and 300, Bill Norman Middle N, Deep Little N and DD14. Those are most I use, unless I go silent and then I use Poe's 300s, Stanford Cedar Crank Medium divers and Lee Sisson baits. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Check out the Bandit 300 series for a smaller profile bait. I have killed them on those guys in trees many times. I believe they run about 12ft or so.
