The Crankie Darter 200A was developed to further amplify the bass-attracting power of its metal lip. First, to increase its presence, the entire body was enlarged compared to the conventional Crankie Darter. This not only increases casting distance but also makes it a spec that appeals more to big fish.
The metal lip was not simply sized up; it is also fitted with two ultra-thin small blades. By producing an even more complex flash, it succeeds in drawing bites from bass. The basic way to fish it is a slow, straight retrieve from the surface to just below the surface (maximum depth 3.5m). In this respect it differs greatly from a regular crankbait.
Although the Crankie Darter's action often gets it classified as a "winged lure," the biggest difference is that its large lip structure gives it overwhelmingly superior obstacle-avoidance. It resists snagging and hooks up well, letting you make full use of the advantages of a crankbait to work around cover. What's more, this lure, which tempts fish slowly with the flash of its metal lip, has turned out to catch fish not only in muddy water but all the more so the clearer the water gets. Experience the even more powerful magic of the Crankie Darter for yourself!
