Confidence Cranks

[bennersj]

I would like to know some of your go to crankbaits. What specific brand name, color, and depth range of the crankbait.

[BaSsFiShEr20]

Carolina Chip's 4.5" Diver, 15-20', Blueplate,
and Carolina Chip's C-Bait ,3', in Bluegill.
I fish a wide variety, but these are my favorites.

[TopRob]

Bandit splatter back 100.

[BassNva]

i have no confidence in crankbaits(yet).
going to work on that this season..

[bennersj]

So far some of the best cranks I have used are the rattlin suspend jointed shad raps, and most normans. I think I will have to put my order in for some Carolina Chips before long and I will also give the bandits a try.

;D ;D Thanks for the info guys

I saw the post about the modified jointed shad rap and thought it was a good idea. I would like to learn how to modify one to suspend at about 3-4 feet.

I would have to say mine would be the Rapala Count down in Sliver/Black and the Rat-L-Trap in Crome blue or Crome Black.

A few from my personal stock

[ALAN_RAMSEY]

working on my confidence in cranks. myself
i like wood for stop and go
spending some time w/ rapala DT in fish colors for time being ie; baby bass,blue gill,mustard' & old reliable color black chrome and firetiger

I like the Norman DD22 in the red craw pattern for deep and Norman Little N in the shad for medium depth and the Speed trap firetiger for the shallow depth.

I'm still working on cranks, too. My favorites are a Strike King series 3 chartreuse/blue back or a Smokey Joe colored rat-l-trap.

[bennersj]

I saw some cranks I have used before and some I haven't those I will give a try. Some that caught my eye were the DT rapala and the blue/chrome rattle trap. I also noticed some of you are like me, trying to improve your cranking confidence.

I have one crankbait that is my favorite confidence crankbait that I think everybody should look at getting but I forgot the website I will try to post it next time for people wanting to order. The bait is a Norman Baby N Mr. Green Jeans color (special color), runs 3-5 feet

Cullin8s WOW great looking baits.

Oklahomavsgeorgia welcome to the board ;D ;D

Once again thanks for the info.

One is a 10 foot diver the other is a 10to 20 foot diver.
these work well in deep water situations in clear water.

Poe's RC3 in Firetiger,Storm Wiggle and Short Warts in shad,and Bandits in baby bass and earth tones(craw colors).Just started adding Chips C-Baits to the arsenal( they are sweeeeeet!! )Just ordered some more and be d----- if he didn't come up with the coolest baby bass color I've ever seen.Guess I 'll be ordering that one also :

[IL.bassin36]

Chrome/Blue Rat-l-Trap- 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz with a feather treble on back, Parrot color Speedtrap 1/4 oz and Ghost Baby 1 - minus. I'll be putting some of cullin8s GOTO RED and GOTO BLUE cranks to the test this year ;D

[FatBass]

I have really startedt o go back and pick up the balsa cranks again. I never really relied on crankbaits as a main staple in my arsenal but in the spring and fall the last few years I used them a lot.

My two favorite baits are the Awesome Tackle Thundershad 103 and Bagley's Honey B or Killr B-1.

I'll throw a Trap from time to time as well. The Floating Trap has done well for me.
