Fishing with Crankbaits, Minnows and Diving Lures
Fishing with crankbaits, minnow lures, and diving lures is a popular technique among anglers targeting various freshwater and saltwater fish species. These lures are designed to mimic the appearance and movement of small baitfish, making them effective in attracting predatory fish and triggering strikes. Here's a breakdown of each type of lure and how they are typically used
Crankbaits
Crankbaits are hard-bodied lures that typically feature a diving lip or bill on the front. This lip causes the lure to dive beneath the water's surface and wobble or swim in a wide, erratic motion when retrieved. Crankbaits come in different sizes, shapes, and colors to imitate different types of baitfish. They can be used to cover a large area of water and are particularly effective for targeting bass, bream, pike, and trout along with many other predatory species. Anglers often vary the retrieve speed, depth, and pause to mimic injured or fleeing baitfish, triggering strikes from predatory fish.
Minnow Lures
Minnow lures, as described earlier, are designed to imitate the appearance and swimming action of small minnows or baitfish. They typically have a slim, elongated body shape and can be made of hard plastic or metal. Minnow lures are versatile and can be used for a wide range of species, including bass, trout, walleye, pike, and more. Anglers can vary the retrieve speed and depth to imitate the movement of a swimming minnow, making it an enticing target for predatory fish.
Diving Lures
Diving lures, also known as diving plugs or crankbaits, are similar to crankbaits but with longer lips or bills. These lures are designed to dive deeper into the water column when retrieved, reaching specific depths depending on the size and design of the lure. Diving lures are effective for targeting fish that inhabit different water depths, such as trout, cod, bass, bream and tailor. Anglers can choose diving lures with different diving depths and use them to explore various sections of the water column to locate actively feeding fish.
When fishing with these lures, it's important to experiment with different colors, sizes, and retrieval techniques to determine what works best for the target species and the fishing conditions. Varying the speed of the retrieve, adding pauses or twitches, and adjusting the depth can help imitate the behavior of injured or fleeing baitfish, increasing the chances of attracting and triggering strikes from predatory fish. It's also essential to keep an eye on water temperature, structure, and the behavior of the target species to maximize success.

The Wing is a sinking stickbait which is slim and fast with an erratic action. This lure can be used to fish different depths by adjusting the sinking time and is perfect for a variety of salt water game fish. Fish Inc Right Wing is fitted with Owner single hooks
- New to the range is the Fish Inc Wnglet, also known as the "Little Bullet". This lure is a smaller version of the Wing creating a small profile to match the hatch. It has the identical weight of the Wing at 42grams but instead of the ABS construction it has a solid Zinc body. It casts like a bullet and is perfect for getting that extra distance but also assisting with the sink rate, so can be used to fish a variety of depths depending on your sinking time. Awesome for a variety of predatory fish either shore based or in deeper waters. This lure comes fitted ready for action with #6 quaity Owner trebles. The Fish Inc Winglet 87mm match th hatch lure is available in 6 colours and is perfect for a variety of salt water fish whether from the beach, the rocks or boat
- The Fish Inc Scrum Half 140mm 60g Popper with a profile that is large enough to draw attention of big fish, while still being on the menu for medium species, being only 140mm. This lure is great for smaller game fish in estuaries, open water and sheltered bays. Its large concave mouth moves a lot of water but is still very easy to work because of its smaller size
- The Fish Inc Fly Half 80mm 16g Popper is built tough to punch above its weight and comes fitted with HD Owner trebles. Its unique belly design and balanced weight allows it to be retrieved easily and its internal weight also emits a low audible click when the lure is walked or popped, drawing fish to the lure
- The Fish Inc Prop 140 is a sinking stick bait lure that was built to be slightly larger and heavier than the Wing sinking stickbait lure. A blade on the lower belly ring has been added to give off some extra flash, which also gives the Prop an erratic fall on sinking. This results in a strike before you have even started your retrieve. The Fish Inc Prop 140 can be fished in a variety of ways whether it be a high speed surface retrieve or worked from the depths to the surface. This versatile lure will catch most saltwater game fish's attention. Also available in single hook version as the Fish Inc Tighthead Prop
- The Fish Inc Lock 160mm minnow is a long jerk bait lure that imitates long slender bait fish. The Lock 160 is a versatile bait that can be used to target a wide variety of game fish species. It can be used from both the shore and off a boat and works best with a "jerk, jerk, pause" retrieve. The Lock 160 also has a weight transfer system that allows it to be cast a long way with ease
- The Fish Inc Hooker 160mm Floating surface stickbait is a lure that has proved to have a phenomenal action and works great on a variety of species
- The Fish Inc Hooker 160mm Sinking stickbait lure was originally developed as a surface lure - the floating version. This sinking version has also proved to have phenomenal action and works great on a variety of species. If the surface action has died, why not pick up a sinking version and find the fish that are holding deeper
