Early Spring Crankbaits

Featured Replies

This weekend I got to meet the guy that made this little bait famous.  Still works great. Some of you guys that have been around awhile will remember it.

Looks different than the LC KJ flat. As long as it has a tight wobble it looks like a  Winner

I remember when Rick Clunn won on the James river using this bait! I must have bought and lost 20 of them as a teenager.

Got to meet RC this week at the Classic, it was very cool to get to speak with him a minute.  Hope the pic brought back some good memories.

I recently got some CP Custom Baits flat sided balsa crankbaits and they are quickly becoming my favorite crankbait for this time of year. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a flat sided balsa. Has a lot of vibration whether reeled slow or fast and is exceptional at deflecting off of cover. Haven't had a durability issue and I have fished them very hard. TW carries them if anyone is interested.

Wiggle wart and shad rap. Very opposite baits, but equally deadly in cold water early in the year. The new Berkley Bad Shad is going to be a good one too I think.

  Mudbugs have been my best producing  early spring crankbaits .  I would like to see them reintroduced with better hook hangers and hooks . I fish them as slow as I can stand it .

Shallow running crankbaits, and lipless baits mostly.  Usually if I can fish them around grass, all the better.

I popped one on a Little Johns 50 yesterday, spring craw color.

don't overlook the Norman Thin N.  a very productive bait this time of year.

Got about 15 on this Rebel Craw last weekend.  It's my confidence bait this time of year, but I forced myself to try some other baits after I fished it a whole day and started with it the next morning.

Today 

 

but I also caught fish on xr50 one knocker and xcalibur xcs200s

Had one choke it this morning too ..: then picked my wife up and she caught her first two for the year on bling 55 which is another solid crank  for me this time of year .... But a little secret of mine is I never stop fishing either and catch fish on them even when it's 80 . Don't think flat sided baits are only for winter

I took your advice and got some off tw this week. Weather might make me wait another weekend or two before I can try them out! Looking forward to it, though.
