Crankbaits - most brands ok?
I've been a collector versus user of crankbaits for over 30 years and to this day still rarely use them, but jigs and soft plastics 95% of the time. I own many brand names that I'm sure have been endorsed by one pro or another and stocked up when they were much cheaper than in today's catalogs. Here are the brands and some models from which you may remember the body and bill shapes:
Bagley Killer B Rapala Risto Rap Rapala Fat Rap Rapala Shad Rap Jim Rogers crankbaits Bill Norman N series in different sizes Cotten Cordell Rebel Poe Arbogast cedar plugs in many shapes and colors Bomber Model A series Bomber Fat Free Shad Bomber Long A Storm Wiggle Wart and other deep divers Smitwick Rattln Rogue Yozuri jerkbaits Bass Pro XTS (still only $2.99) The most expensive crankbaits today are over $12 each, whereas these cost $2-$5. Rebels look cheap, but are they less effective at the same depth as the more expensive plugs? Same for most of the other plastic crankbaits listed. Are these some of the brands and styles you still use? I have to admit that though I've caught fish on crankbaits, confidence in them needs to be built up because they are some of the finest search baits made and I'm probably missing out on fish suspended off structure. A little help please. Last edited by senkosam; 01-25-14 at 03:07 PM. |
