Many people compair baby 1- to wake baits like bandit fo otloose,try it again. It dives 1 foot give or take a couple inches.Most wake baits run only inches under the surface.Rod angle of course changes the running depth of all cranks but there is a huge differance between baby 1- and footloose or any squarebill.Baby1- is my favorite crank from 0 to 4 feet almost year round. BTR

Still my fav. crank.Its a tidal water terror.Besides triple grip hooks and a snap in its nose I only buy the old ones .Manns new lures are trash .What a shame what they have become.The old baby 1- has better rattles ,paint thicker plastic and a different size lip.It is the perfect tidal river / pond bait almost year round.. BTR

I have not fished conowingo lake in 12 years,and with all the rain I heard its bad.Tx this month and may not get a chance to pre-fish,any info would be great.Thanks...BTR

Like the boat .Like it so much it looks just like my 2000 stratos.I have the same motor.Compared to my 1989 stratos its nimble and very quick to 60+.I think you will be happy.I cant tell you what I paid for mine. im such a sucker.ENJOY

I can"t help myself, always tinkering with lures.Im sure there are times when rattles should help.Someone must have tried it.

I know the reasons when rattles are effective like heavy stained water,aggresive fish etc.What about post spawn,3 feet clarity would you put rattles on a chatterbait. Any personal experiance to confirm.thanks btr.

90% of the bass are in 10% of the water./start fast spinnerbaits,crankbaits,chatterbaits then slow worms,jigs,creatures./ acurate casting practice in your back yard/ focus and confidense. btr

usn 1984-1996 helo crewman HM-14 nas Norfolk Va. thanks everyone for your service and thanks everyone for your needed suport. btr

thank you for the warm welcome again! I can tell by the military response you dont take a knee at sporting events. thank you! you dont have to join the military to serve your country.I believe the little things mean alot. btr

I had a few problems pop up and didnt make it out .hope you nailed them ! ill be out on the flats this week .btr

Love the sass. but it can be tuff. Just got back into this year and havent fished sass. much lately . most of the creeks are shallow but if theres a 3-4foot near by the fish can get very shallow. Dark blue soft plastics ,blue/black jigs and shallow cranks worked for me.I fish the same waters you do and ill be on the northeast river today, hope to see you out there. good luck bend them rods.

I used to play with old pontiacs T/As/formuls but my presant toy is a 05 chrysler crossfire SRT6 rag top.Love modern handling and superchargers but due miss laying rubber for 50 feet..

thanks for the warm welcome baby1s are popular in tidal rivers where i fish.the new baby1s seem to have a more stream-lined wobble and less or smaller rattles. I miss one of my favorite search baits. by the way im new to forums or even computers so sorry in advance if Im screwing anything up Bent rods everyone !

12 years navy h-53 crewman/ 8 years postal worker/ medical retired after titainium rods in back/ trying to get back into club bass fishing after 10+ years away because of back pain. Its been tuff so far .Used too first or second place in club standings now cant put a limit in the boat due to rust and back pain.cant give up.I fish mostly upper chesapeak bay Md.tide water rivers with the river rats bass club.started following bass resource this year and thanks for all the intelligent bass info.

the new baby 1- do not catch em like the old smooth bodied baby 1- used to. oh hi everone just got back to the bass after 12 years .back problems.
