Help me match this Crank!

Bubba_Bruiser · 07-27-11, 07:00 AM

Fellas I have been fishing this crank for about a year now and absolutely it is the best crank I have ever used in clear water with the sun high. Zooker sent me this crank a couple of years ago and he told me off the bat I wouldn't find another one like it. It is a Yo-Zuri brand, and he was right, I can't find another on like it. I was just hoping someone might be able to help me find a match. I have looked through the LCs and that is about the closest I can find aside from searching the Jap market. I think the etches in the bait and stainless hooks really through off the blind that drive the fish up the wall. I tend to like to crank it down and them start fishing it like a rip bait with the best results. But here it is, any help is grateful:

But then again, it doesn't have the silver on bottom.

Discontinued lure, it's not on Yo-Zuri's website. I'm sure if some old ones can be found Marc can match the paint.

Believe me, I have looked at YZ. I am just trying to find another one that fits the profile now. I think my buddy secretly wants me to lose it because I have been wiping the floor with this bait over the year. I wouldn't be scared to say I have put 75-100 fish in the boat with it. No beast as of yet, but the biggest was at 3#. I clamped the line line the other day because she made a dash for the log, I thought I would rather her pull off than to snap me on the log hahahaha.

I was watching those cranks on ebay MD, but forgot to set my alarm to do the bidding. Better luck next time. All I can say is if you see any laying around, pick em up and try them.

Bubba, I got out bid on the two on ebay. Went out yesterday and couldn't put in a higher bid. They went for $12.50. I put $12 in.

Marc David · 08-01-11, 09:26 PM

They definitely seem hard to come by, I'll keep an eye out for more.

Bubba_Bruiser · 08-01-11, 11:34 PM

I guess we will be bidding against each other on the next set Bob hahahahaha
