Combining Yuki Ito’s renowned design expertise with the hard-won tournament experience of Brandon Palaniuk, the iPX deep cranking system answers the demands of the fiercest arenas in American bass fishing — and sets a new standard for deep-diving performance.
The iPX-12 works a primary range of 12 feet (3.6m), reaching a maximum depth of 15 feet (4.5m) on 10lb fluorocarbon. A double-barreled weight-transfer system launches the iPX to the farthest reaches and delivers a steep dive angle, driving it quickly into the strike zone.
The precisely engineered lip and its distinctive honeycomb indentation grab and direct water, locking in unwavering stability and an attacking dive posture through the retrieve. A crisp, high-pitch wobble — paired with powerful vibration and the intense flash of its tall-bodied silhouette — calls bass from a wide radius and triggers aggressive reaction strikes.
Upon contact, the iPX-12 shows outstanding deflection recovery, quickly righting itself and returning to a productive digging action for extended bottom tracing. This responsiveness keeps the bait fishing through cover instead of fighting it, multiplying strike opportunities to keep the angler in complete control.
Engineered for the realities of modern tournament competition, the iPX-12 is the deep-diving bait built to carry you to the top of the leaderboard.

The late summer and early fall period presents a unique challenge for bass anglers. During this time, bass become more scattered and less aggressive due to a combination of fishing pressure, dropping water levels, and various transitional elements. As the season progresses, bass behavior shifts monthly, influenced by decreasing light levels, changes in water clarity, […]
Throughout the most challenging fisheries and tournament conditions, anglers who unlock the sneaky effectiveness of finesse crankbait fishing consistently see outsized results.

Prespawn conditions, which […]
Palaniuk’s Cranking System Heading into his thirteenth Bassmaster Classic, and third on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake, Brandon Palaniuk expected to deploy a unique shallow-water cranking technique he calls “FLOATING”, for a chance at the win. This time around was a bit later than the previous iterations – 2013, when he was the runner-up; and 2016, when […]
