Default Keep loosing fish on crankbaits.

I love to fish crank baits all throughout the season. Cranks are one of my go to baits even when water temps are in the mid to upper 40s. When I have a good crankbait bite going I tend to loose almost 30-40 percent of my fish that bite, which is way higher than any other bait I throw. I've tried multiple solutions but nothing seems to increase my hook/landing ratio. I have two rods specifically set up for cranks; one is a figerglass rod and the other is just a med light graphite rod. I replaced most of my hooks to the mustad triple grip hooks designed for cranks which helped alittle but I still loose fish. This year I increased the hook sizes on all of my baits to see if this will help. On my square billed baits I have a number 4 on the front and a number 6 on that back. On my deep diving baits I have a number 6 on the front and back. On one bait I put on the VMC sure set hook on the rear, but I'm affraid this will increase my snags as well as my landing ratio.
Does any one have anyother tips so I can increase my landing percentage with cranks?
Thanks and good fishin
