any opinion on the evergreen faith jerkbait.   

Sometimes I grab cranks from the bargain bin that look good (color, shape, feel, whatever). I upgrade the hooks (usually up the size and quality) and see if they run the way I want them to. If they do they get thrown in the tackle box. I've got some bargain cranks that catch all my fish!

A few years ago I was at BPS to pick up a few things before going out to pre-fish a lake before a tournament.  I knew there were a lot of visible brush piles on the lake and thought it would be cool to throw crank baits around 'em 'cause they probably don't get fished that way - but I didn't want to lose any crankbaits so was just planning to worm and jig fish like everybody else does.  Then I saw the bargain bin with $1 crankbaits - bought one in every color and threw 'em all day - never lost one and caught lots of fish.  Moral:  you can't judge a crankbait by the bin it in
