- Pro bass angler Seth Feider dives deep into the nuanced world of how to fish crankbaits in weeds for summer bass. Sparing no details, he teaches how to cleanly fish crankbaits around grass patches while still trigging reaction strikes. Tickling the grass is a delicate balance that requires a knowledge of grass characteristics and choosing the right bait for the situation.

As Feider discusses, CrankBaits are excellent bluegill imitators in fisheries rich in bluegills and other panfish. Key to his approach is matching CrankBait running depth to the height of the grass. Color can be a factor, too, with hues of chartreuse and blue resembling bluegills.
Grass cranking retrieves significantly from traditional hard-bottom cranking, where driving the bait into the bottom is the norm. Feider uses a slower retrieve and rod angle adjustments to prevent burying CrankBaits in the cover. Choosing the right CrankBait helps too. Buoyant and tighter wiggling balsa CrankBaits are best, such as the Rapala DT (Dives-to) Series. A tighter wiggle reduces the bill and hooks from catching grass, while a fast-rising bait clears the cover better on the pause.
Feider's unique approach centers around maintaining a consistent running depth for the bait and methodically reeling and stopping -- mirroring the tactics used with a Carolina rig. This strategy becomes even more crucial when worming the CrankBait around dense clusters of coontail grass.
A heavier power glass rod paired with a fast reel and strong 12- to 14-pound fluorocarbon provides the right blend of "give" and power to keep treble hooks buttoned and horse fish clear from the cover. In this case, his go-to ChatterBait rod doubles as an ideal grass-cranking stick.

Seth could make a video about painting a fence and i'd watch it.
😂
Would be a hoot. His smoke would have a 3 inch ash handing off the end and would accidentally light the paint can on fire 🚬 🧨
That boat is 🔥
Showing how you work a bait is phenomenal really great tip
You are seriously stepping up your game in these videos Wired2Fish making us all better anglers!
Really appreciate the comment. We enjoy connecting with highly skilled anglers, then taking the time to construct a decent edit.
Wired2Fish makes the best quality video BY FAR!! First: the quality of the captation is the best. Images, angles, sound, shooting right side of light, etc. You guys are top notch pros! Second: the content and « hosts » are super good. Really, nobody’s compares. Nobody.
☺️
Seth is a beast
That rod and reel combo is the stuff. Not just saying that because I run one myself.
It's hard to argue with a well-calibrated Daiwa setup. Don't need to spend an arm and a leg for performance either.
Great video, love when Seth does videos for you guys. But maybe a lake change would be nice? 😂
Hah! We've filmed with him on a bunch of different lakes but yes, we did have a few stellar outings on this pig pond.
Seth is cool 😎
We wish he'd behave a little more corporate 🙃.
He’s rockin the left hand retrieve! I know most of the guys who say they prefer right only say that because they have $1000+ in right hand baitcasters and can’t afford to replace them lol. To all new fisherman out there get a left hand! It just makes more sense to not pass the rod back and forth…
Been thinking bout the left hand reel for years, hadn't made that step yet,what you said makes sense with the passing back and forth🤔
I needed this video. I've been doing it wrong this whole time😅
Cool video. Seth is top notch. Great technique. 👍 😊
Thanks 👍
Great tips love his style
As straight up as they come!
Just got done uploading a killer pattern with the DT3Fat in shallow grass on my show; love Rapala stuff and big diawa guy also. I'm just a 1 man band so the production values nowhere near w2f.Them boys are the trailblazers of internet fishing shows!
Sweet, we'll check it out. That's an overlooked child in the DT lineup. We actually shot a video with Seth on it a few years back -- he's a big fan. ruclips.net/video/L_S9vhd80q8/видео.html
"I used that technique since the early 90s and it's money,I caught 7 Bass this morning at a heavy pressured local park pond doing just what he's teaching,Seth knows his stuff"
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you're pretty dialed too.
Sweet 🤘
Thanks, we liked working on this one too.
@@Wired2Fish thanks for sharing
is this rod still able to handle lets say, an 8xd? 6xd? DT16? DT20? Looking to get into just one deeper crank setup that can kind of throw everything.
Number one
🦙👑!!
What boat is that?
Ballistic I believe
Wow, without that electronics, you'd be lost.
Lol wut?
Nope, he'd just slide out to the grassline and feel around with his crankbait. Def don't need a lot of fancy electronics to pull off this tactic. They're cool to have and fun to use if you're into that kinda thing but not needed.
🦙🇺🇸🤘🚬
Sums him up perfectly.
4:57 - NEVER hold a bass like this, it will maim or kill the fish. Look up Bernie Schultz's article titled "How not to hold a hawg" and see the image in the article.
You are the man Llama 🦙! Thanks for the tips ,
I love my DT 8 .
Thanks for sharing. It is a sweet bite-sized package.
Great video, love when Seth does videos for you guys. But maybe a lake change would be nice? 😂
