Bill Lewis MR-6 Mid-Range Crankbait

The Bill Lewis MR-6 Mid-Range Crankbait pairs a compact, flat-sided body with a tight wobble and strong vibration. Designed for the six-foot zone, it gives you a focused presentation for working banks, breaks, and cover edges without stepping up to a deep-diving crankbait.

This floating, 1/2 oz crankbait has an internal weight-transfer system to help with casting distance. Use its six-foot depth target as a reference rather than a fixed result; line, casting distance, retrieve, and conditions affect how deep it runs.

How to Fish It

Start with a steady retrieve along a bank, across a break, or beside a cover edge. Give the lure room to work down, and choose a casting angle that keeps it in the depth zone you want for more of the retrieve.

Try a brief pause between stretches of steady cranking to let the floating bait begin to rise. Resume with a controlled retrieve, or vary your speed to change the rhythm of its tight wobble.

Where depth permits, allow light bill contact with bottom or isolated cover rather than forcing the lure through resistance. Ease pressure if it hangs up, and check for debris or fouled hooks whenever its action changes.

Care and Storage

Inspect the diving bill, hook points, and hook connections after fish or hard contact. Remove debris, let the lure dry before storage, and contain exposed hooks with hook covers or a separate tackle compartment.
