Default Mann's crankbaits?

I got some of these at gander this weekend, one was a lipped crank with a thin body, pretty freaking looking!

Got about 7 I think!

I also got a mann's Weasel swims really cool! any one used them?

I know they have good soft about, how about hard baits?

Thanks!

I love the Baby 1- and the Baby 1- Elite Series. Another great bait i love but is no longer made is The Baby 4-, one of the best shallow cranks for me, and i can't find them anywhere.

I am a cranker and I use one Mann bait, mostly because of the color it is and not a good match from other companies. I use mostly Bandit and Normann lures, the reason they offer the most colors and I like thier shape. Color is the number one factor for me ,then shape in my technique, mostly away from mosts choice, so this benefits me. To me Mann is hell bent on the shallow thing, one minus ect. me, 4-7 feet is just fine.

I couldn't agree with you more. the Baby 4- was one of the best crankbaits ever made.
To answer your question though Mann's baits are awesome. I highly recommend them!

The 1- is a great crankbait and a great alternative to a spinnerbait at times. Dont know much about the weasel though.

The 1- and Baby 1- are tried and true baits on tidal rivers over emerging grass or in shallow water. I heard that the Loudmouth Deep Diving crankbait is good for convict bass on the Bay.

Good info here, looks like the Baby 1- is the way to go.
I've never fished a Mann's lure but I'm always lookin for new additions to my tackle box.
They do have some wierd colors but the Bluegill and Chrome/Black look good

That's a different one than I saw in BPS.
I generally prefer cranks with rattles.
2 of my favorite lures are rattle cranks
BPS XPS Nitro Minnow
Cotton Cordell Jointed Grappler Shad
I also recently added a Reef Runners and Gravediggers to my collection.
I can't wait to try em out
