Crankbaits

Check the lure specification before choosing a colour

Start with the lure range printed on your rod and the water you intend to fish, then compare the body and bill designs offered in the listings. A depth figure needs its stated conditions to be useful; avoid treating every model in one family as interchangeable. Check whether you are buying an individual lure, a pack or a storage accessory.

• Compare length and weight using the same units.
• Keep the exact model code with your chosen colour when checking the listing.
• Separate lipped and lipless designs before narrowing the shortlist.
