Speed cranking involves specialized crankbaits designed to be fished at high rates of speed in order to trigger a feed response in bass. It works from September to March, even in the coldest water temperatures.

“Burn, burn, burn … pause… burn, burn, burn” needs to be on a TB T-shirt!
Or have a picture of a Huddleston and underneath it, it says, if you think you're going slow, go slower, now go half that speed, now go half that speed, now go half that speed.
I noticed while reading the comments that Matt and Tim are the only content creators I have ever seen respond to the initial comment, and then the follow up if the original commentor asks a follow up question!! If anyone ever has a question about Tim and Matt’s integrity, I would point to this video, and tell them to see for themselves. Without question the two most in depth, genuinely passionate angling educators to be found.
Dude I can listen to u all day bro. U shine whenever u truly helping people out with secrets hard to share ur truly a special person.ps send a broke brother some ur old rod or reels.u the man
Hey guys! Went out yesterday and pulled a BX brat 6 fresh out the box. From the bank,, "Burn, burn, paused" my way into 3 nice ones back-to-back after spending all morning getting squat! Then I saw the bait ball that explained it all! Thanks guys! I have learned so much from you.
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to explain and making this video!
Gotta thank you guys for getting me to crank this year.I dedicated myself on a lake I traditionally fish very slow and had fantastic results.from April til now I've 3 over 8,9 over 7,and 12 over 6."pb year" thx to you guys.(my best crank was a 3-6ft shad and bluegill patterned six dollar crank ..(changed the hooks and o-rings of course lol).about 5 of the big girls came speed cranking dd bomber but I eventually hung them all.public waters so.cal..thx again
Thanks for the super detailed seminar matt! Info you can only get from years and years of experience and you just gave that to us newbies. Makes us much better equipped to catch fish and have fun . Much appreciated! #TB4Life
I also caught my personal best on a 10XD this summer with this technique. Two thumbs up!
I say it everytime, but it's true. Matt and Tim are NINJAS!
Love the video. This help me confirm what I was doing wrong when cranking and watching the fish response on live scope. Thanks for sharing such valuable information.
Excellent video, thanks! I especially liked your discussion of hooks and split rings, in addition to the burn-burn-pause. Very helpful.
Thanks so much soo much info to take in.
Definitely need more of these seminars videos 👍🏾
Great vid guys! Caught my pb using your speed cranking tips. Keep up the good work and PLEASE keep making baits!
Great information as always! I have been speed cranking since I 1st heard you guys talking about it and have caught a ton of bass and many other species of fish. This summer, I caught my biggest largemouths speed cranking. It truly opened my eyes a few winters ago. It was late December, extremely cold out, water temps were around mid to low 40s and I was fishing for stripers. I was trolling in deep, open water with cranks. My trolling speed was about 2.5mph and I was catching largemouths. I couldn't believe how fast the largemouth were able to react to the baits. I was raised on the notion that you have to SLOW DOWN in the winter because the bass won't exert themselves as much. I'm here to tell you that is not always the case. I have witnessed it 1st hand. Great video.
I had never thrown any kind of deeper style cranks until about 6 months ago when I got my first boat and my closest lake has a ton of deep deep water. That’s when I fell in love with deep cranking it absolutely slays mondo smallies even hits big big walleye by accident I love it I just went out and bought every speed slash deep crank you guys recommend but my favorites so far are the tactical crank for sure and the mega bass deep six and deep x 300. I also like a good flat sided crank gives a lot tighter wobble
As the old adage says, give a man a fish and he won't starve for a day or two, but teach a man how to fish and he'll never starve.
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. As an old salt, I am still learning a lot from you guys. You guys are the only few UA-camrs worthy of my time. True authority on bass fishing. Keep up the passion and good work. 👍
That's right I'm a beginner and you guys are the only ones in learning from lots of good info
Top notch video.. Loved the description of loading into a giant on a rough day with the right gear, put a smile on my face and got me looking forward to the cooler weather here in NC!
Just got finished ordering Mirrored-Minnow, Green Pumpkin Craw, and Bluegill Tactical Bassin Crankbaits. Already have the rod, reel, and line. Can't wait to start speed crankin'!!!!!!!!
Thank you for including the bluegill lake people. No shad up here.
I’ve never been dedicated to fish a crank bait, but I decided to get a cranking-specific rod to help encourage myself to fish them more. I went to a riprap dam and did your “burn burn burn pause” technique to catch a few nice ones. Thanks for your tips! They definitely work
Cranks are the only way
You are geeked out and now I'm so crank bait deprived-geeking up next level! Dang it!
Amazing in depth breakdown on everything speed cranking
Thank you for making sense of it all to me .
I always look forward to
Mon. Wed. Fri.
lol
Love you guys!
Thanks David!!
I did it last winter for most of the winter using the r2s tactical and I was definitely wearing fish out, love to see the even more in depth video
Full seminar,, oh my!!! Crank baits are one of my favorites and they actually work all year round! Speed cranking is the key!! Lovely video guys
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the video!!
@@tacticalbassin you an your team should fish professionally an get involved in tournaments you guys would do awesome
Thats one of my best ways to retrieve my moving lures. I love to play around with fast retrieves and just have fun fishing. I know exactly what you mean Matt because I’ve experienced it here in California and Minnesota with success.
great info bro! about to spool up my first cranking rod. very helpful. just started bass fishing this year. keep up the good work
I caught my PB this year speed cranking just like this. Thank you guys for such great tips. I feel like I've improved so much after watching you guys. Keep up the great work!
Thats awesome!! You're the reason we keep doing this, we love to hear the success stories!
Hey man congrats!! We’re you in a boat?!im trying to either take the kayak out or find a shore spot with deep water off it to try this out
@@andrewwolf4963 I was in a boat speed cranking a deep diver across deep points. The most aggressive I've ever had, and I'll never forget it! I wish you luck in trying this out.
@@andrewwolf4963 the best that
God bless 🙏
Especially winter bass fishing in Texas. I always catch some good 5-6 lbers in November and December cranking. One of my favorite times of the year.
Hi Matt! your exponetion is quite informative and complete. It really convince me, so I want to practice and learn about speed cranking
Pretty good work guys!!
On my next crankbait rod I build I'm going to put "BURN BURN PAUSE" Tacticalbassin on it. Awesome video hopefully I can make it out again before it gets to cold.
That's funny, I'm just starting my build, I think I'm gonna do the same.
This was one of the best videos you ever made, 12 to 16ft is the edge of where bass can see to hunt and feel safe was perfect. I found this technique accidentally when rapala came out with dt10. Won a tournament in a gin clear lake speed cranking a dt10 over deep water. No one ever would believe this until they live it. Great show man.
Thank you Chris! It sounds like you've been on the right path for quite a while 👊
I was speed crankin yesterday afternoon. Fishing was a bust, but it felt good knowing from previous TB videos I was on the right track!
Nice! Keep doing the right things and it's bound to happen.
Love this type seminar video; more please !!
Still catching 5lbers on these in Minnesota. Bought an imx pro 845cbr to throw them from my kayak. Most fun fall fishing ever. Thanks guys!
🔥🔥Thank you Matt and Tim for going in deep and not holding back 👊👍
Thanks Ken! We appreciate the support!
@@tacticalbassin thanks you for all the info it always helps I just started giving speed cranking a shot today up here in NY I wasn’t able to get anything on it where I was at but it’s been hit and miss at that spot I’m only an hour north of nyc so it’s not like the Great Lakes but we get some good ones occasionally I’m hoping to add this technique to my arsenal thanks again
Gosh you guys are amazing! I always say it but it’s true. I know there are others who know this knowledge but they don’t share like you and Tim. 🔥
I love all your content, so so so helpful. Thank you!
Great detail on the baits and HOW TO USE THEM. Thank you for sharing 🤝🏼
Did some of this yesterday, between our first wintery storms of the year the fish moved to the channel edge of a rock flat. Caught several nice smallmouth plus one of my biggest for the year from this resivoir.
The burn pause worked so well for me fishing just above grass.
I love it how u be on point when they blowing up on the surface, I’m dying with laughter love it man. Fisher man first educator second rock on man 🤙🏼
Appreciate the info I work over night watching this at midnight but soon as I get home at 6am I'm in the boat tying on a couple cranks
Last year around that time i lost a ghost minnow tactical dd , it was brand new . Today went fishing for musky , the river is so low right now . Went up on my usual casting rock , looked to the right , there it was , stocked on some kind of carpet cover with mud in 2 inch of water ,cleaned it , almost like new except for the hooks …… so happy !
I whole heartedly agree. For me cold air and water here in georgia in nov. - feb. I throw deep diving cranks. It was shown to me by a fellow fisherman. Try to hit anything, stop it let it back up and float that's when a reaction bite happens. I've had ice on my eyelets and the fish behaved like it never was a factor. I realized the slow down, creep it, lethargic fish is no where an absolute. It opened my eyes.
Exactly! Greg you are way ahead of the curve!
So many nuances to cranking... I dedicated myself to learning as much as possible this year about "cranking" I had alot of break throughs this year but this video just made me realize that I'm missing a huge part of cranking in my game... I was ready to kinda get in to my slow winter fishing mode but Matt dropped this and here we go now I'm looking at a specific rod... I dont have a lipless rod im thinking of that crossover rod... thx TB
You will LOVE that cross over rod 👊
Love your channel brother alot of helpful resourceful information
Just picked up one of the mojo glass rods a few weeks ago by chance and have some tactical dds in my tackle box. Can’t wait to try this!
Thanks a million dude. You guys are awesome!
Speed cranking deep been getting it done between the tactical DD braid to floro leader or the 6th sense cloud 9 or the jackall digle it works 💪🏿thanks MATT FOR THE TIPS
Awesome! I'm glad to hear you're out there slaying!!
I unintentionally ran into this technique about a month ago and caught my PB smallmouth of 6.1 at Mille Lacs. Ever since then I've been trying to figure out why I got that bite. With this video I pieced the puzzle together and found out the cadence, hg reel, and deep x 300 was why lol. I've been looking into more cranks that have a tighter wobble and sound and found the O.S.P Blitz EX DR and MAX DR cranks work pretty well also.
We need a "Burn burn burn pause" T shirt from you guys hahaha
Excellent. Thanks Matt
Great content!
I love the energy in your videos. Nice long video for a crankbaits.
Thank you!!
Matt and Tim are the greatest! They will definitely make it to the hall of fame with the likes of the Lindner's
Y’all need to turn these hour long videos turn them into a pod cast so people can listen while Thay work or drive
If you get UA-cam Premium you can start the video, then turn the screen off on your phone and it continues playing like a podcast/music app/etc. It's the main reason I use premium, plus no ads and free downloads for when you don't anticipate having cell service. Just an option if you feel like paying the $12/month. Best $12 I spend on any video/entertainment service by far.
😂😂🤣 I’m Literally doing this right now
@@bretton696969 yup premium is worth it. Listening to audiobooks/videos without leaving my screen on and app open
Or just watch regular UA-cam hit play and turn the phone over. If it’s plugged in to charger it should play over car speakers.
Your the best , thank you for sharing your knowledge with us I can order with confidence.
Kenny ny
Great video, Giving viewers like me a little "behind the scenes" content on why you chose the colors for the DD crank is interesting, keep it coming!
Thanks Nick! I can't believe we never thought to share that before.
My setup is on the way I can't wait to try this
I've tried the burn, burn, pause a few times with little success but I'm probably not going fast enough with a 5 to 1. My jerkbait fishing has improved immensely though. Appreciate the time and effort guys.
You can’t with a 5 ratio. A 6.3 is ok
Thank you so much for the time you guys put into helping us.
SUPER HELPFUL. I caught a 6.56 lbs small mouth yesterday on a rocky point . THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤜🤛
Yes!!! If you were the only person who watched at all, it would be worth it! Way to go!!!
@@tacticalbassin the amazing thing is that all this information works on my lake in Canada
Looking forward to today's learning session!
Enjoy! I poured my heart into this one!
This vid was great. My favorite thing to fish is a crankbait and a flapping 🐸
Winter is my favorite time to fish nobody on the lake and all I do is crank so I'm excited smallmouth bite going to pick up!
I went with your budget recommendation for rod and reel combo from your last jerkbait video. I received it last Friday and went out on the Kanawha River here in Charleston Wv, the fishing can be really tough here. I only had a couple of hours to fish but wanted to test the rod and reel. I loved it, very light-weight and smooth. I could feel and see the difference in my jerkbait action. I caught a small largemouth then followed it with a nice striped bass. The rod handled it just fine. I appreciate the recommendation and would recommend others to try it. The rod made a difference.
That's awesome! We love hearing success stories!
Another request for a video of you guys reminiscing on double digit catches caught on camera. I really think this type of vid would do numbers!
Man you just made me cry! Two days ago I had that exact situation that you described throwing a square bill along a rock dam with a 8.2 real. I had set the hook but nothing moved, I started to think I got it hung in the rock's then all of a sudden I felt two head shakes then it pulled about a foot of line and was gone. I still had my bait my hooks were not bent but it was gone!
I think this is the best video you've ever done👍
Thank you!!
Great info, will have to break the dust off my Tactical DD cranks and see how it goes.
Another AWESOME video!!!!
Thank you!!
every lure I EVER get I just do what I like to call the “tactical bassin” aka, burn burn burn burn pause! Lol seriously though you guys are awesome, great information.
I caught some nice quality bass speed cranking with the Tactical DD, ledge fishing. Something new for me and I had a blast, next up catching the big one. Thanks for the help guys...
It’s funny I jus Learned this on accident speed cranking I was getting frustrated jus BURNING THE BAIT like you guys say and caught some good fish
Your a rigs video techniques has made me land my pb striper. Definitely gonna try this and see what happens
Excellent
Great video thanks ! I got frustrated one night fishing the bank cause they weren’t biting my cb so I started burning it with pauses and caught a bunch of bass for about 30 minutes. It works no doubt and I was using some of those strike king flat sided baits which for all I know might not have been the right cb but it worked.
What I need more than anything is a good winter bass fishing glove if anybody knows of one ?
Ive been meaning to pose a challenge for you guys for a while now and fall is the best time, a good chunk of your audience has smelt for bait fish instead of shad. Mature smelt stay in open water all year except for spawning. when the fall transition starts the yearlings leave shallow weed beds for deep schools.
Id love to see you guys fish some smelt lakes and tell us what you’ve learned…. Maybe specifically in the finger lake region 😉
Teaching is both an art and science.It is conceptual and intellectual,abstract and concrete,hearts,minds,the past,the futcher- Whatever. We can imagine,teaching and learning.thes guys are the best .you young guys are lucky to have the.im older we were sold by the old guys not thought.
Thank you James!
The summer craws color here in northern colorado are like a darkish green pumpkin brown and blue color it’s wild when you think craw you think red but not always the case
Mat has me fired up right now to go out and crank.
I did boat a bunch of 4-5 pounders mid-November on DD-75s at Lake Picachos, a lake known more for numbers than size, so they were the best of the 250+ fish I put in the boat during my 3 days there. I'm going back in February so we'll see what I can dredge up on that trip.
Way to go Herb! That's awesome!
Damn now I wanna try speed cranking for these northern smallies
Awesome technique definitely putting it to use!! 🔥🔥🔥. What is a good all around crank bait rod!! Thanks guys! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Ok ok I will try it
Great information thank you
Thanks Guy!
Man this video gets me fired up a lot like the jerk bait video. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fishing cold weather bassin.
Idea on swapping those treble hooks. If you don't have split ring plyers (like me most of the time) I've learned that once you get the ring open and start the hook coming off, go ahead and slide the new hook eye into the gap. It will follow the other eye around and snap in while the old one comes off. That way there is no need to bend a fingernail out the 2nd time..LOL
THANKS again for the awesome info on you videos.
I’m a big fan of the channel I’ve been learning so much from you guys I live in Denver Colorado and I like to fish the downtown area especially the South Platte River I like to target smallmouth bass and I would like to try speed cranking for them and we’re headed into winter what do you think would be my best crank bait to use to get them
Awesome Video @tacticalbassin . My 7 pound 8 oz PB came cranking a lay down in 49° water! Here in Northern Massachusetts.
7 is a damned good fish for MA. Was it from a bigger lake/reservoir or a smaller pond?
@@richardbossman9875 a pond 👍👍
Dude, thanks 🙏
Poe’s Cedar series made a beautiful crank
Thanks MATT
Another great video. I don't miss any of your video's they are so informative. I do wonder why we never see Diawa or Lews reels?
Thank you for this great video. This morning I tried the speed cranking and caught a bass and even carp by crankbait(hook on tail, I guess it tried to attack the bait)!!!
In case of low light condition, especially at night or before dawn, should I a little slow down retrieving to let fish detect bait's location??
I want a Tactical Bassin T shirt that says Burn, Burn, Burn, Pause
Love your videos! I've learned a lot from you guys!! Have you ever fished Smith Mountain Lake in Southwest Virginia?
Heart of a teacher this man has! Great information sir. Excuse me if I missed it but what length and what action is your standard go to rod for this? You guys rock!!
They always list their gear choices in the description plus all of the extras and budget options.
I got the R2S Tactical Crank shipped out to Korea to get on this technique... haha still learning and trying to get on them!! I will try till it works! let's go!
That's awesome! You'll get it dialed in 👍
@@tacticalbassin I'll crank'em till I spank'em! haha!
😂😂
I don’t call it burn burn burn pause, I call it brake checking 😂 caught a 6+ lb smallie on LSC brake checking this past summer
Brilliant
