Crankbaits suggestions?

[MichaelAngelo]

I used to love floating crankbaits for shore fishing because if they hit the bottom I could stop reeling and let them float up just a bit away from the snag. I loved them... until I skunked on them over and over. That and I would end up with a pile of weeds at my feet LOL.

Nowadays, I'm not sure where they fit into my arsenal. The only crank I use is the shallow diving rapala F-7 stick bait in the natural colour... and it works wonders for active bass in shallow water.

Trolling... I can definitely see their place for being able to dive down as the boat moves whereas other lures would be pulled to the surface.
