BearKing 65mm Deep Diving Crankbait, 10-12ft Dive
BearKing 65mm Deep Diving Crankbait, 10-12ft Dive
This BearKing crankbait is built for cranking deep structure where summer and fall bass hold. The 65mm floating body carries a long diving bill that pulls it down to 10-12 feet on a steady retrieve, with a tight, high-frequency wobble that stays true even at speed. The gold and black barred pattern reads like shad or perch in stained to moderately clear water and throws flash on every roll.
Use it to comb main lake points, creek channel ledges, and deep brush piles where largemouth stack up. It floats at rest, so a pause during the retrieve lets it rise off cover before you dig it back down, which helps trigger fish that are following but not committing.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target structure so the bill contacts bottom before the lure reaches the fish.
- Reel with a steady medium retrieve to let the bill dig in and reach full running depth.
- Pause briefly when the lure deflects off wood or rock to let it float up and clear the snag.
- Slow down in cold water or after a front, and speed up in warm, active summer conditions.
Frequently asked
On a standard cast with 10-12 lb line it reaches roughly 10-12 feet, matching the stated dive range. Line diameter and retrieve speed will shift that slightly.
This shad-style pattern with flash and barring is a solid choice in stained to moderately clear water. In very clear conditions, a more natural or translucent color may draw fewer follows and more strikes.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with moderate action, a reel geared around 5.4:1 to 6.3:1, and 10-14 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament give good depth control and enough give to keep hooks pinned.
It is aimed primarily at largemouth bass working deep summer and fall structure, though smallmouth around deep rock and ledges will also take it.
