Custom cranks revisited

Wishing2BFishing · 01-12-09, 10:41 PM

I know that some of you gave me some custom crank recommendations. To narrow things down, does anyone have a recommendation for a custom crank that is:

1. round
2. dives 4-6 (or one that dives 4 and another dives 6)
3. isn't too expensive
4. is a proven fish catcher

If so, what color(s)?

Check out the C-Flash cranks: http://www.mikesrxbaits.com/productl...nd_T3_R23.html

They meet most of your list, except #3.

A few of the best fisherman in Michigan won a lot of money on these last year. They are very round and the 22/44s have a huge wobble. The colors of choice are still a mystery.

best pick for your request would be a lucky craft rc2.5..

custom baits are normally hand made or made in small batchs...hence the reason they cost alot.. that price is CORRECT $37.99 EACH...many of us can vouch for the paint jobs..

I like the Kuba-s from Chip.

I don't mind spending money but almost 40 bucks is just too much for one crankbait. How bout' something in the 15 - 20k range?

On another note, I was looking at some of the custom paint job on the Predator site. Anyone familiar with this outfit?

Check out customluresunlimited.com The Ikon's, Haw River Humpback and Lithium's are all great baits. The site says under construction, but the bottom right of the page has a link that says view site. Click it and check em out.

Like zooker said the rcs are great baits. Just paint them. I use custom baits some but for the cost and availability the rcs are awesome.

How round? Bandit 100 round? or old Bagley's Killer B ?

Strike King 4S might fit what you are looking for.
