crankbaits...

[zooker]

powerbass got me to thinkin -a very dangerous thing- what color and kinds of cranks do i use.. well to say a picture is worth a thousand words.
lets take a crankbait box




this one will do. i just went thru it last week. -thats why it is a tad shy on baits- ok so i am not a neat freak.. but what you see is my "working" box of cranks for the area lakes. -yadkin chain-

top row left to right
norman flat lil n's, dt6 -hot mustard and a bagleys live brim,my assortment of #5 jointed shad raps- 5 differant colors-, and1/4oz lipless baits-which lizard hates to see.

second row left to right
1/2oz lil george's,#5 shadraps -5 colors- #5-7 shallow shad raps -2 colors-, a blue and chartuses frenzy and a bomber in fire tiger.

3 row down left to right.
a dt6,a dt7,a norman deep n, next box2 dt10's and 2 dt7's..

bottom row
dt6, a norman fat boy,three dt6's, and finally two dt4's..

this is only 1 of 3 boxes of cranks i have in my boat. this box i use the most and have several extra's of most of them.. do not be fooled these baits are the ones that work the best for me so i use them alot.. nothing fancy just straight up $5 crankbaits.. several of which carry the battle wounds of many fish.. there is 5 cranks missing from this box a mountain dew norman lil n,a 1/4oz carolina chip lipless,a norman blue back deep lil n,and 2 bandits 100's in tenn shad..i got to stock up on the bandits..
there really is only 4 colors in this box..shad,blue/chartuse,firetiger,black/silver. imo that about covers all you will need for colors.. i do have a few strange colors like gold,hot mustard,green craw,ect..just for grins and giggles..
