[QUOTE="camoman, post: 92694, member: 571"] I would be more hesitant to call fishing crank baits a type of "matching a hatch". When I think of matching a hatch I think of fly fishing because you are trying to imitate an invertebrate that is naturally moving in flowing water - whether it's on top of the water, floating in the water column, etc. It's important to "match the hatch" because the hatch is what the fish are eating, period, because of its availability. I don't think fish hit a crank bait because they think it looks like something tasty or like something they normally eat. They hit it because it's moving, like something alive and it will fill a void. [/QUOTE]
