Crank Baits

Featured Replies

I'm going to buy some more crank baits soon.  I'd throw them near docks for largemouth with a rocky bottom and 3-6 ft depth.  What would you recommend me buy?

Thanks

Good enough to win The Classic. Another suggestion is the Norman Fat Boy (Redear)

200 bandit is a good, inexpensive crankbait. Also for banging around shallow cover in the warmer months, a square bill like the SK 1.5 is a solid choice. This time of year a # 5 or #7 Shad Rap is tough to beat too.

Thanks for all the replies!  I'll keep Norman, Bandit, Rapala, and Strike King in mind.

KVD 1.5  In the 6ft range I don't know a better lure to be honest. I have tried them all, not saying they are not good lures, but it seems that anything that has kvd on it just plain out catch's fish.

X's 2 on this.

All of the kvd baits I've seen are silent. They make a bait that is similar called the 4s. It is another very good bait. You can also find the 4s with trokar trebles hooks which is a big plus for me.
