And if you look on their page they have just one picture of that particular lure instead all the colors available.....just dumb

A thread was started earlier about these cranks and they really caught my attention. I live in MN and as you guys know there are no Academy sports stores around here. Do you guys know of anywhere i can place an order online? Or at least see all of the color patterns so i could have a relative pick the ones i want up? I noticed on their website they dont have much detail on what products they have in the stores. Thanks, VC

I actually caught it on 12# P-line CXX. At first, like all my muskies, it felt like a log and then just took off! It was a thrill to say the least.

Close 2nd for me, but us Minnesotans love the Linder family!

I use a 7' Fenwick HMG MH Fast action

THE HEAD ON THAT 3RD ONE IS HUGE!!! Congrats guys!

Congrats! Thats a solid 3 1/2-4 lber

Yes sir it is. I lost another one tonight fishing for bass, broke off my favorite norman! Good luck to you on that muskie. Once you get your first you are HOOKED for life.

I use megastrike scent with confidence...dont really know if it catches more fish but it does make them hold on longer. I also love the shake2 jig heads!

i just wish they made the premier in a lower gear ratio. That would make my decision a lot easier!

This is one of the best looking cranks i have ever seen. I live in MN, when are they going to do online purchases!?!?!

So i guess i cant go wrong with either the stingers of the KVDs

I have noticed that on all three of mine....i was hoping it was just a fluke when on my first one, but no.

Thanks pgersumky! Ill probably go with the e5 or the winch after i go to cabelas and test them out.

get a Winch !! those reels are smooth and solid Whats the difference between the the winch and the toro winch? Is the $80 more worth it?

I like my sureset hooks on my DT's so im not going to replace those, but i am looking to replace all my Norman deep little N's and DD series.

Rapala DT series, but if i only had one crankbait for the rest of my life it would be a Norman deep little N in redear.

Are you using it for cranks? Yes, it is exclusively for my deep cranks (12+ ft)

I am also looking for something lightweight which i know the premier has. I think i comes down to the E5 and the premier, but i have been looking into other round reel options like the Abu Record.

I haven't really gotten into changing hooks, but have had a few fish spit the hook lately. I have heard good things about the owner stingers, but i have wondering what you guys do for sizes? Red or black? Also are size 4 hooks standard on cranks? Thanks, VC

I'm trying to decide on which reel i should get for my new deep crankbait rod. I currently own Curados and Revo SX's but am looking for something that will casts those baits a mile, even in the wind. I love my Revos but i feel sometimes they dont produce like they should in the wind. I am open for any suggestions, but i have had my eye on the premiers....Are they better casting then the SX's?

same..i dont know what it is i suppose i dont fish them often and when i do i do not keep them on long...it seems like i throw them when nothing is catching fish..and they confirm it when the bite is good, its the last thing i want to throw on. I know others who have great luck with em. thats fishing Thats maybe why....Keep fishing it until you get confidence.

How is the quality of these baits? I dont want to buy the best, but I also dont want to waste money on a poor quality bait? Also, can anyone give any input on the Tru-Tungsten Matt & Ish Tru-Life Swimbaits? Just my input i wouldnt go with the SK....IMO they dont have much action at all compared to other swimbaits bc they only have one joint in the middle.
