6th Sense Cloud 9 C20 Deep Diving Crankbait

The 6th Sense Cloud 9 C20 Deep Diving Crankbait is the deepest-running model in the Cloud 9 lineup — engineered for the 18–22 foot depth range where only the heaviest, longest-billed deep divers can reach on standard tackle. At 3.5" and 1.4 oz, the C20 carries the mass and bill surface area needed to achieve true running depth at 18–22 ft while maintaining the stabilized action that keeps the bait tracking true through bottom contact and structure deflection at extreme depth. The shad-focused color palette reflects the forage reality at 18–22 ft — shad are the dominant forage in the open water column at these depths, making shad imitations and shad-adjacent attractor colors the most effective choices for deep ledge and offshore structure fishing. 7 colors.

Key Features

• 18–22 ft True Running Depth — The deepest-running model in the Cloud 9 series; the C20 designation targets the 18–22 foot depth zone — the extreme deep water range that only the heaviest deep divers can reach on standard tackle; the bill geometry is engineered to achieve true running depth at 18–22 ft on a long cast with 12–17 lb fluorocarbon on a medium-heavy baitcast setup.
• Unique Bill & Body Profile — Stabilized Action at Extreme Depth — The bill and body were co-engineered to maintain stabilized action at 18–22 ft; stabilized action at extreme depth is the most difficult engineering challenge in deep diving crankbait design — the C20’s profile maintains consistent wobble and tracking through bottom contact and deflection off deep structure where most deep divers lose their action entirely.
• 3.5" / 1.4 oz — Extreme Depth Mass — The heaviest and largest model in the Cloud 9 series; the 1.4 oz weight provides the casting mass and bill load needed to achieve 18–22 ft running depth on a standard retrieve; significantly heavier than the C15 (1 oz) and C10 (5/8 oz) to compensate for the additional bill resistance required to achieve extreme running depth; 3.5" body matches the profile of larger shad and baitfish that big bass key on in deep open water.
• Shad-Focused Color Palette for Deep Water — The C20 color palette is shad-dominant — Shad Craft, Shad Shell, Shad Fantasy, Ghost Pro Shad, and Shad-Treuse — reflecting the forage reality at 18–22 ft where shad are the primary open water forage; attractor colors (Chartreuse Pro Blue, Lavender Citrus) for stained water and low-light conditions where natural shad imitations lose visibility at extreme depth.

Color Guide

• Shad Craft — Realistic shad craft imitation; effective in clear to lightly stained water for open water ledge fishing when bass are keying on shad at depth; detailed shad profile triggers strikes from sight-feeding bass on deep ledges and offshore structure.
• Shad Shell — Shad shell finish with iridescent sheen; effective in clear water where the iridescent finish mimics the natural flash of shad scales at depth; the shell finish provides a different light-reflecting profile than standard chrome shad colors for pressured fish on heavily fished ledges.
• Shad Fantasy — Shad fantasy pattern; effective in clear to lightly stained water for bass keying on shad in open water; provides a slightly different shad profile than standard imitations for pressured fish that have seen conventional shad colors.
• Chartreuse Pro Blue — High-visibility chartreuse with pro blue accent; most effective in stained water and low-light conditions where chartreuse provides maximum visibility at 18–22 ft; chartreuse tones remain visible at extreme depth in stained water where natural shad imitations become invisible.
• Lavender Citrus — Lavender citrus attractor pattern; effective in stained water and low-light conditions; lavender and citrus tones provide high contrast and visibility at extreme depth in off-color water where natural baitfish colors lose effectiveness.
• Ghost Pro Shad — Translucent ghost shad imitation; effective in clear water ledge fishing when bass are keying on shad in open water; ghost finish allows light to pass through the body for a lifelike translucent baitfish appearance at depth that triggers strikes from pressured bass on heavily fished ledges.
• Shad-Treuse — Shad and chartreuse combination; bridges the gap between natural shad imitation and high-visibility attractor; effective in lightly stained water where a shad profile with added chartreuse visibility outperforms both pure natural imitations and pure attractor colors.

Best For

• Extreme Deep Ledge Fishing (18–22 ft) — The primary application for the C20; drag the bait along the top of a deep ledge at 18–22 ft and let it deflect off the edge to trigger strikes from bass stacked on the deepest ledge drops during peak summer; the C20 reaches depths that the C15 (13–17 ft) and C10 (8–12 ft) cannot access on standard tackle.
• Open Water Shad Schools — Shad-focused color palette and 3.5" profile for targeting bass feeding on shad schools suspended in open water at 18–22 ft; the C20’s depth range allows it to reach suspended bass that are holding below the depth range of lighter deep divers.
• Peak Summer Deep Bass — Bass move to the deepest available structure during peak summer heat; the C20’s 18–22 ft depth range covers the extreme summer holding depth on major reservoirs where bass seek the coldest available water; shad patterns for open water ledges, chartreuse attractor colors for stained water conditions.
• Trophy Bass Targeting — The largest profile (3.5") and deepest running depth in the Cloud 9 series for targeting trophy bass that hold on the deepest available structure; big bass often hold deeper than average-sized fish on the same ledge — the C20 reaches the extreme depth zone where trophy fish are most likely to be holding during summer.
