Custom Cranks
I have many "store shelf" cranks but the bait monkey wants more. Does anyone have information on some good custom crankbait brands and the computer links?

Chips cranks are nasty as hell... They are made perfectly. Can't go wrong. Also, Terry Clark makes some good cranks. There was another guy on here... name starts with c, I remember he made good baits but i havent seen him on in a while

lowrider, I have been lookin at the basshunter cranks. Do you have some? What do you think? Is there a model which is similar in size and weight to the DT-4 and DT-6? I appreciate your help.

most of these guys are on the up n up, they sell quality goods.
I've purchased many homemade wood (balsa or basswood) flat sided crankbaits from guys near the river, and I had a learning curve that they were to be fished a lot slower than the plastic ones I had gotten used to , like a Bomber Flat A... Get a few in you favorite colors and ya may have a big edge on guys that have never even seen that kinda color/paint and make. |

Ok, so $25-$50 bucks each is out of my league, and I'm not ashamed to say it. I found this site off eBay, but I haven't fished with any of them yet, so I can't give a fishing report for them.
www.rockcreeklures.com $9 for 5 of them...that's more my speed... |

W2BF - Got Donnie Poore doing custom painting and he also does a bunch of LC knock offs. I'll PM you a couple picks. He doesn't have a website but his work is impressive.

3d, I am very interested in seeing the pics. If he has some cool paint patterns, I might just have him make me some custom DTs (if he is interested in painting some Rapalas)

That Carolina Chips bait looks like a Norman Fat N. Being a custom bait I bet it is better so I may have to check that out. The fat N works great in the wood here in VA.

We just order some of those baits you told my dad about. They look awesome and I cant wait to try them out. If they perform as good or better then a wiggle wart for about 1/4 the price I will order a ton from them.
