The Series 3 Crankbait

The other favorite bait I have from Strike King is the Fire Tiger colored Series 3 crankbait. I really believe that if you tie that bait on you can catch fish in any body of water. It doesn't matter if the water is stained, muddy or clear this bait is perfect any situation. This bait runs six to eight feet deep and can mimic baitfish or crawfish. It works well it has the correct color pattern on it and runs the correct depth. It has really helped me.

The Series 3 crankbait really helped me late in the spawn. People were catching fish on top-water baits but I could take the Series 3 down around stumps and the fish would just nail it. I was throwing the crankbait behind a carolina rig and the Series 3 really helped me catch fish and keep my point standings high. Even if I didn't end up with a check I could stay in the running for making the Classic. Some tournaments you struggle and you know your going to struggle this bait can help you keep your place and not fall in the standings.
