Netcraft Crankbaits

Featured Replies

Does anyone know who makes the netcraft crankbaits?  Are they decent?

They are fairly cheap, and I was just wondering what they compare too?  I am kindof thinking the BPS XPS baits. That is kindof what they look like to me.  However, I have heard/seen them compared to LC, but I find that very hard to believe.  Anyone have any insight?  I called them and they cannot tell me who makes them. 

Thanks

Who makes'em?  A contractor in the Far East.  Are they "just like a Lucky Craft"?  Dream on!  That said, Netcraft blanks are some of the better ones I've fished.  But you have to pick and choose among the offerings of any online retailer.  I have used the Netcraft 1/4 oz FG Shallow Diver and it is a great little bait.  I can't recommend others because I haven't tried them.  Some brands/models LOOK like expensive Japanese crankbaits (on purpose!) but are made with inferior plastic, with poorly aligned halves, stuck rattles, or other quality problems.  Even if it looks exactly like a $30 Megabait crankbait, it isn't the same on the inside, where it really counts.  Different ballast chambers and almost always the ballast is free floating BB's, not the elaborate ballast and rattle designs you see in Lucky Craft, etc.

I bought six a couple of years ago just to see how they were and by golly they were not too bad.  I think I have two shallow, two medium, and two of something else. I compare them to Bandits at least. I never had any problems with them and I caught a few fish. So yes I say they are worth the price. You have to add hooks of course.

yeah not even close to LC or any other high end JDM lures... they are made cheaply but still fish ok.. I bought a big lot of them on Ebay a while back it was 57 baits and I won it for 113 and change.. for what I got it was a insane deal on fair quality lures that have fairly nice paint jobs and actions are not bad... the suspending stuff is a joke it doesnt suspend at all just has a slightly slower rise then the non suspending stuff... I dont care about that and if you did you could always weight them to do it or just buy LC and suspend perfectly....

All in All a good value on a decent lure... and at the deal I got them at! A insane value that I laugh when I get one hung up because I know it was only 2 bucks lol. when I loose a LC or Megabass bait I dont laugh at all...its more like F!@#!@# B@$$&%*( lmao.

I know I know I dug this one up from its long time grave way back in the forum lmao.
