OK Crankbait Fiends...
Ok, so Friday we get a steel workers bonus of 1410 bucks, probably take 950 home and getting new flooring but have several hundred put back for crankbaits only..I lost all the good ones last year..
Any thoughts on a favorite crankbait ya just cant do without? I already plan to get several more bandits and some DT6 's any input is appreciated |

Watch it!!! Zooker may post a couple dozen photos or so with that request
RC 1.5's and 2.5's are sweet when you get them on sale. Fat BDS 2.0 (3.0 and 4.0 too) can be deadly also. They are all great shallow running baits. I like the older Deep Wee R's. I don't like the new colors or paint. Of course you have to get a few DD14's and 22's. Maybe a deep little N or two. |

Yep, Lucky Craft but sold only at BPS and Tacklewarehouse (I believe but may be wrong) The RC's are $10.99 each when on sale (up $1 from last year). Check around for the Fat CB BDS on sale but they run $15.99. You might get your retailer to take a couple bucks off if you buy a bunch.

The bait monkey just got out his whoopin' stick, JB. Watch it. He'll bend you over the counter at BPS if you're not careful...
For the most bang for your buck, what about www.jlvlures.com I think Zooker made a post about them a while back, said he likes their stuff. |

I'm a big fan of Bandits and Bomber up here. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a LC yet.

I saw some new Yozuri's that looked pretty cool, they change colors when you look at them from different angles. I believe they were asking $12

check out ebay stores like the one that lowrider mentioned, you find some good buys, custom paint jobs, lucky crafts, jackalls, wiggle warts and bandits. really all kinds.
Lucky crafts at bps are about $15.00+

JB get a Sebile magic swimmer. Nothing like watching a bass come from nowhere and hitting one of those.
