I want to see your favorite cold water home made crank baits. Show 'em!

Here's what I'm currently working on. These are all intended to be fished in the coming weeks. 2 of them are actually jerkbaits, same difference. They're all basswood except for the orange jerkbait which is balsa.

 

 

 

 

Nice looking baits. Now I'm curious though, what's cold water in your neck of the woods? I'm probably not going to be fishing a square bill anytime in the near future :'(

Been fishing them. LMB and crappie.

Haven't been on here in awhile but here are some baits I recently finished.

ha ha, yeah I'm over in Australia, so water temps are a bit higher and our Aussie bass are a very different creature to your lmb! I actually fish this color pattern year round but find it best in winter when the water is clear and the fish are sluggish. The lure itself has a couple of large knocker rattles, so it wakes 'em up pretty good!

Here are a few of my cold water specials

Nice looking lures. I really like the Tennessee shad and rootbeer-ish looking ones.

Here are some more baits that I've made. Thinking the Red Wings should be good in cold water. LOL

I really like these baits, especially the Red Wings one, and I don't even like hockey

In a nut shell, these baits will catch fish!

Well it's cold in Denver, so does this qualify as a cold water crank'?

Marty, great looking baits! Love those colors!

in cold water i lean more towards jerks til bout a little before spawn then move to cranks to locate fish

I would throw that crappy looking thing away..... unless you got rid of that donkey on the side of it

 

But seriously those are amazing looking, I wouldn't mind having one with a Royals emblem.

cbass12...that might be possible. Not really a broncos fan but am hoping they beat seattle. I made the broncos crank about 2 weeks before the reg. season ended. Was actually hoping the Chiefs were gonna make it. Shoot me an email on yahoo . yankeebassman@yahoo.com Doug here.

Brayberry, thanks for the comments.
