The Crankbait Retrieve Speed Calculator was made to assist anglers when determining the proper speed or cadence on retrieve when fishing a crankbait. Most people base this decision purely on basic variables such as water temperature, or whether the target fish are actively schooling. Little do they know, experienced anglers consider far more factors when making this decision. This tool requires anglers to consider every possible variable and always recommends a confident and trustworthy technique based the users conditions.
All inputs were carefully selected by a bass fishing enthusiast and designed to take into account every possible variable that influences this decision. Some limitations include ultra unique conditions that the angler is facing, such as fishing in high current scenarios, or considering the vast variations of crankbait action and profiles. We cannot design this calculator to account for the hundreds of different profiles or actions that crankbaits represent, but we know the way this calculator has been designed, it will still produce a quality reliable response regardless of these variables.
Here is a sample output for somebody looking for advice on deep water smallmouth fishing in cold water temperatures, moderate wind conditions, with some small isolated schooling forage activity. This is a common scenario in many of my home lakes.
Best Retrieve Speed For You
Pro Tip
When using crankbaits in these conditions, consider using a suspending model to maintain depth and increase your chances of triggering strikes from smallmouth that are holding tight to cover.
I designed this tool to take into account all of the necessary inputs that can potentially influence this decision. Many anglers ignore vital variables and simply don't know they need to account for them, so I built this tool to make that decision for you. It was built on our AI engine with these custom made input selections. The engine takes the user inputs, and takes into account a custom designed prompt which lays out logic and reasoning parameters for the engine to follow. This results in a tool that is incredibly fast, and produces real human crafted results.
