| There are so many different sizes, colors and shapes when it comes to hardbaits, it might
be tough to figure out which one to tie on your line. (HARDBAITS are also called a crankbait, stickbait, jerkbaits, plugs or minnow baits.) No doubt you've eyed them up at the store, or have a few in your tacklebox.
According to Outdoor News staff writer, and hardcore angler - Glen Schmitt, "Walleyes, northern pike, and bass are usually shallow during the first weeks of the open-water season, feeding aggressively on baitfish as they recover from the spawn." He said, "Cast along shorelines with a floating crankbait in the sprint or early summer and you'll likely pick off a mixed bag of fish."
Here's a quick guide on crankbait style and how they function. (As seen in Outdoor News)
