Crank-baits are fun. I learned that the idea was to "bounce" the plastic lip off of structure such as tree stumps or rocks. For some reason this "bouncing" makes LMB strike. Simply cranking the lure through the water is far, far less effective. Crank bait fishing can be addictive, and carpel tunnel issues to the wrist is a legitimate concern. This is not a joke.... obsessively casting and cranking a bait caster from sun up to sun down can do serious harm to the wrist joints.

He is using forward facing sonar. My guess is he saw probably every fish before he casted.

What kind of patterns can we chuck that will roughly approximate a crank bait the gear fishing folks use? Asking for a friend……having thrown everything in box at bass in certain situations and struggled to get interest when the gear+crank bait still seems to work…

unweighted, articulated deer hair streamers fished on a sinking line or sink tip is the closest thing I can think of.
 
He caught three bass in the tournament that are bigger than my biggest bass I ever caught…
