best night time cranks

[Andrew Erickson]

in your opinion, what is the best crankbait to cast/troll at night?

[hhguide]

I think it all depends on the moon. If the moon is full I will stick with the darker colors and more natural colors. If there is no moon then I go for the more flashy and more bright colored crankbaits. As for size I would say the one that matches the forage of the lake best. If its shiners 5's and 7's, if its perch longer stickbaits, if its sunnies short Salmo's. Just my opinion others may tell me i'm wrong. Good luck!

Early season I use more stickaits like floating rapalas and as temps warm up move to shad style baits. As the wter cools in the fall I again move more towards stickbaits and as water temps drop into the 40s I use big stick baits. Colors change on water conditions, moon phase and lake being fished.

Take a shad rap and paint it completely black. That is my go-to night trolling lure.

I bought some glow paint and paint a strip along the bottom of a #13 bule/silver Rapala and charge it up before letting it out when I troll and do real good during the night.
