We’re thrilled to announce our brand new crankbait! The Tactical DD Crankbait 75 is designed for cold water, Winter bass fishing. We partnered with River2Sea on this project to develop a bait that would catch MONSTER bass in the coldest temperatures. Are you tired of dragging worms and jigs all Winter? You’re going to love this crank!
In 2011 Matt and Tim realized what we thought we knew about bass behavior in cold water was incomplete. To their surprise, under the right conditions, big bass would aggressively hunt and feed, even in near freezing water conditions. Through years of study and experimentation they began identifying key vibrations that would consistently trigger an aggressive feeding response in these bass. To their amazement, the biggest bass in the schools were the most likely to react!
Fast forward and we arrive at the Tactical DD Crankbait. The guys combined a unique sound profile with incredible fish-catching paint schemes, added a bill shape that fishes well at a variety of diving depths while deflecting off cover with ease, and created a perfect package for targeting big bass in cooler water temperatures. As an added bonus they stumbled on this bait’s surprise ability to catch fish at virtually any water temperature when baitfish are present!!
The same sound and vibration combination that works well in cold water also causes a remarkable feed response when bass are actively targeting baitfish. The bait “feels” like a lipless crankbait in the water but has the ability to make abrupt stops and starts that elicit incredible reactions. With this second approach, this “cold water bait” instantly became a year round producer!

This bait can be thrown with a variety of lighter crankbait rods. It does not require the heavier actions that larger baits require. When considering the best rod, focus on the rods you already use for square bills, smaller deep diving crankbaits, or lipless crankbaits.

@10:13 Matt looks like he has a full diaper
Honestly….this bait is quite a bit overpriced BUT….you guys bring so much value and knowledge to the community that it‘s okay to make a tad more profit as necessary. From my perspective well deserved!
What areas do I focus on
Is the g loomis 906 medium or medium heavy. Is the other rods for the crank baits medium or medium heavy dobbins 845 and Shimano
HORRIBLE NET TECHNIQUE…. NEVER Jab At It like that. Lucky you didn't knock it off the line
When you're fishing y'alls crankbaits are they on the bottom or off the bottom? Fast cranking?
Just tried this bait out today, went out to my local lake and fished from dam, went out just to test action and feel, not expecting to catch anything as here in Missouri it was 65 degrees yesterday and 35 degrees today but to my surprise landed one bass in first 10 minutes before losing bait hung in snag….this was definitely not ideal fishing conditions with serious weather change but it did produce….will look forward to trying out in boat where if I am snagged I can probably not lose bait as from bank…..definitely 2 thumbs up, also bait runs deep without a lot of resistance so this is a great deep bait that doesn’t require special equipment
So I just picked up a few of these cranks and was chunking one the other day is this crank meant to be hit off of rock? Or am I looking for a sandy bottom? After running in through some chunk rock I noticed the bill getting dinged up pretty quick . Thanks for all u do boys!
I have similar results at a local river in Arkansas. The fish will hit a dropshot or Keitech CREEPING slow but a shad rap or ripping a jerkbait will trigger them too…
I'm looking for a non specific crankbait for small to medium bass. Too bad
Lol…
I used to keep "New Rods" at my Buddy's house because my Wife would count my Rods !
No longer married, by the way !
How would you adapt this crank to shallow water?
Just got mine in the mail today!
You did not tell us the name or how to order.
Theres 7 diff one on the site which one are they showing here
I don’t get why they don’t just come with the “upgraded” hooks or split rings?
What is the name of these baits what do I ask for when I go in a tackle shop looking for them?
I love this new crankbait but can't find them which one is that one in the video natural ghost or glass
Great looking lure. Recently picked one up in the ghost minnow color. Can't wait to use it!
Do you guys still sell that hoodie that Tim is wearing? I'm just curious. 🙂
When is TacticalBassin coming out with a full bait line?
