Who makes the deepest diving crankbait in the industry?

GF took the words right out of my mouth! Guess I'll add one more to an already good answer. The Luhr Jensen Hot lips Express TA is another one that gets "down and dirty!" Casting depth 16', trolling 27'. Here's whats amazing though, by shaving the lip on one of my Strike King Series 6's, I got down to 18'! (wonder if I could have gotten more)

Deepest Diving Crankbaits

Normans DD22 - 3" 5/8oz 15-18ft Floating

Luhr-Jensen Hot lips - 3 1/4in 3/4oz. 20+ft. Floating, using 10lb mono line

Lucky Craft Flat CB D20 - 3" 3/4oz 20ft. Floating #2 10-12lb

Poes Super Cedar 400 - 3in. 7/8 oz 17-20 ft. Floating

All these can be found at Tackle Warehouse.

Rapala is supposed to be coming out with a DT 20 this fall.

These are the deepest running crank baits that I am aware of.

I do not have any of the Poes, but the others I do have.

Can always make them go deeper by dropping down to 6 or 8 lb line on a 7'-6" Med Light rod.

I'd go with a solid fiberglass rod, as you don't need the sensitivity of graphite when crankbait fishing. When you get a bite, you'll KNOW IT. For long casts, at least a six-foot-six rod is needed, but a seven-foot or even seven-foot-six medium action rod will do best. Softer rods will allow the bass to inhale the lure, resulting in more hooked fish and longer rods allow longer casts and better hooksets. A Quantum® Kevin VanDam Signature Series Crank Rod would be idea, they cost $80 at Bass Pro Shops. Also, ten-pound fluorocarbon will get your crankbait down the deepest.
