    Interesting concept using an octopus hook on a crankbait. I'm changing over one of my crankbaits as I watch. Will have to put it to the test in the spring, unless the water stays ice free a little longer here.

    I’ve often wondered why crank baits or jerk baits came with trebles, when all other baits use single hooks.

    • @user-rl1oo3it3k
      @user-rl1oo3it3k Před 6 měsíci +3

      The trembles swing up and cup the bait and hold on the body while the bait is in motion. A single hook swings all over.
      It is extremely difficult to fish the crankbait the way Bill is in this video. A shallow square bill will do the same thing .
