One thing to consider also, and much more important in Bass fishing is not what type of lure you were using, but rather where and what pattern were the fish? All of a point on a shore line, under some branches, over a sunken log....that type of stuff is WAY more important than the lure. So...if you are comfortable throwing cranks (I love em too) keep doing it, but focus on the when and how.
Try a floating rapala minnow, and just twitch it on the surface around some structure. As easy to cast as a crank, and sometimes more effective.
