One of last winter's cabin fever ideas has been working very well for me this season. All I did was lay 4 coats of gloss black enamel plus a topcoat of clear sealer on a Mann's Baby Minus 1 crank. Similar action as in the wake but no gurgling. The rattles provide the noise.

It's a killer in the same conditions you would use the Jitterbug, but with the option to run it under the surface or just cruise it on the surface as fast or slow as you want to. I also have a better hookup ratio than with the Jitterbug.

Well, I 'm not a fan of the Jitterbug because of the wake action, I 'm a fan of it because I love to hear that gurgling sound.

The only sound I like to hear is a fatty crushing my topwater bait

Can you post a pci of it?

I confess my ignorance, I am not sure I know what a "Baby Minus " is.

Just an extremely shallow running crankbait made by Mann's:

But I wonder would this be better with a Manns elite series waker :-? It's a pretty loud bait.

Just another thought I have been real curious about the Ima Roumba for some time and it also comes in black. 8-)
