Trebel Hook Sizing & Crank ID

Featured Replies

Got these cranks free and the rattle trap (left not pictured) I won when I was 5.

 

Wtb covers for the trebel hooks. Can anyone guesstimate the hook sizes?

Can i just buy large covers and use them for all sizes?

 

Any info on the cranks? Primarily depth? Model and color name would be nice too. I tried looking online but couldnt exactly pinpoint what they are. 

 

-Larger says "Bill Dance fat free shad" no markings on bill. Bill has a rounded tip. 

-Right says 3xd on the bill. There is also a hole in the top filled with rubber/glue not sure what it's for or if/why the previous owner did it?

Both have rattles. 

Crank hooks look the same size, 1 rattle hook looks a bit bigger/longer and 1 smaller.

 

Bonus: how would you fish the norman?

 

Thank in advance.

Find a treble hook chart at any of the online tackle place that has the hooks drawn to exact size. That is the best way. Photos can be misleading. 

 

As a best guess the smaller cb probably has size 6 trebles and the bigger cb probably size 4. 

 

One size of Treble bonnets will probably fit both.

Mfg. will give you the specifics of those baits. They are still in production. Strike King has a great site and they have a great catalog you can get. Full line catalog. 

The fat free shad is a bait made by bomber and the 3xd is made by strike king.

I know some of the older fat free shads were suspending models.

 

I have seen people add/remove rattles or weight by drilling a hole in their baits.
