The Bassresource Crankbait Guru, Chris and I teamed up to make what I think is one of the best baits in wood cover I have ever used. Not sure how many prototypes we went through while testing various body shapes, weighting and lip styles but it was a lot. It does not look much different than a lot of cranks you are used to seeing, until you have it tied on. Thanks Chris.

nice

awsome

I wish i could try it out, looks very good.

I like the color very much

Is the Chris Special available for purchase?

Roadwarrior, the CS mdl40 is available through my website.

Here is the other style that is also great for light to moderate cover. Same bait with a tapered tail. With a lot of crankbaits the lip is not wide enough to cover the hook or have enough deflective qualities to keep it from hanging up this bait fixes that problem. This bait is weighted so that you can make a very accurate cast next to an object. This bait will not catch air and flap in the breeze. Most balsa baits are hard to cast in moderate wind this bait isn't. If you use 10-14 line this bait will cast a mile. The bait has great vibration and it tends to shift like a struggling shad in a heavy current. This is important because it mimics a shad or other live bait. The lure also searches which gives you a bait that has random movement right and left. The bait is very responsive reacts to cover extremely well. If there was ever a bait that was designed to catch fish like mad and perform beyond most baits this is it. There is no other bait I have ever owned that has the action of this bait period it is Pro quality in every aspect.

If you notice the tapered tail style is not quite fat and not quite thin. The lure is just fat enough to still give good coverage of the hook while the flat side pushes a lot of water. Notice how the lip is the same width at the base as the body...it helps cover the hook better.  This style pictured has two kick out points on the edge of the lip and a simi rounded front of the lip. It helps the bait work its way around objects. The bait will strike a kick out point and shoot the bait away from the object. The pull point has an oval split ring that helps keep the bait tracking straight and not get hung up on the split part. The hooks are spaced apart enough so that they don't get tangled into each other. The belly hook is set so that when the lure is running at the running angle the hook is covered by the bill and body of the bait. The 4x4 is more round and can be fished in the places that most use a spinnerbait without worry of loosing it. (It is very hard to hang up) The round bait has the same action just a little different body style.

The clown is a 4x4 round the other two are tapered tails.

4X4- Great name!

Whittler, you make some grade A stuff and teamed up with Chris in the field,.....I wish I had a larger baitfish foragebase in my lake.

Whittler,

Your a real nice guy but don't be so modest.

Your baits are outstanding.
