Quick take
Deep-diving crankbait available in multiple depth models from 4 to 25+ ft.
The 6th Sense Cloud 9 C6 is a bass crankbait in the Shad Burst finish, built to run between 4 and 8 feet. Its steep lip gets it down to that depth quickly, which suits anglers working shallow structure, points and ledge edges. It is a good pick for keeping a bait in the upper strike zone and letting it glance off cover.

About this type
A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.
On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.
Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.
Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
