what are some good cranking baits. like pats and slammers. one that will either slow rise or stay put? 

i love slammers but they dont crank deep enough. i dont have a  pats but really want one

What depth are you looking to hit? That could help narrow down a bait or two for you.

I have a live target swimbait with a lip that dives down to about 10. They basically take their normal baits and throw crank air lips on them. I've caught a few small fish on it in the same situations where we were usin regular crank baits... No reason the bigger version wouldn't work.

or Mod a Slammer with a longer, more angled bill. If you don't want to ruin a slammer, get an AC Plug or Optimum OB Minnow and do the same thing. Cheaper than a Slammer, so you wouldn't be ruining an "investment".

 

The heavier the bait, the lower it will go in some respects depending on the build, weighting, and lip.

DRT klash low and hi float. low for 6-10ft it acts very similar to a hunting crankbait. has removable lip and configurable tail. and hi float for shallow situations where you would use a square bill. they are my go to diver's
