Detailed baby bass patterns 

• live target makes one identical if you want realisim, so does Academy, I find baby bass to be any crank with green or brown in it, I do have some J-5 baby bass Rapala shad raps and they are nice looking and would make sense in clear cold water especially in ponds where I do well with those balsa flat sided cranks...Bomber is ranked 5th by bass master for cranks, try the flat A for cold and flash, fat Free, Model A, not the bait bonanza, Bandits are good and inexpensive, and a cordell big O is still a classic for a reason, Firetiger doubles as panfish and bass if you use a sharpie to hide some brights but you can add them again, I am always coloring and dying lures on the fly, sanding, color is not a factor for me except for my show off lures for special days. A good crankbait should not have paint after a few good days of fishing.

check out the vicious crankbaits at TW i bought a couple last year and there cheap and have a great paint job but i would change the hooks out for something a little better

The Bandit crankbait in Baby Bass has worked for SMB and LMB. Depth can be 8-9 feet and the one I used most was more shallow diving than that.

I have reached my quota of positive votes. LOL. I liked your post primetime .

I always thought the baby bass pattern looked like it would be a good producer but Iv'e never had much success with it. Glad it works for you, though.
