I have a chance to buy some Berkley Frenzy medium and deep diving crankbaits for a little over $1.  I have never used them before.  Are these baits worth a darn?

I have not personally used these crankbaits but if they are what i think they are then i would think that they would be fairly successful. After all, even if for some odd reason they are not the greatest in the world, you only paid a buck for them so...  Doesnt hurt to try.  

The Frenzy CB's are a great bargain at retail.  At the price you're looking at......it's a STEAL!

Anybody else?

I bought a bunch of berkley cranks from Kmart last year for about what you're paying, and tried them out.  The lipless cranks work fine, just as good as rattletrap or rapala lipless cranks, plus they have some cool colors.  

As for the medium/deep diving cranks... While they do have a different look than most baits, and berkley supposedly put tons of research into them, I did not catch any bass on them.  I caught crappie on them, but no bass.  I tried them on about a half dozen outings before switching to other crankbaits.  They look kind of cheap and flimsy, and for me, in my area, did not work.  

I got some the begging of the year and have had good results with them the only thing I suggest is changing the hooks, the one's that come with them are only good for catching the garbage bag as you throw them out. ;D For that price give them a try and see if they work for you.

I own a box full of the medium divers, and they work very well in cooler water.  Great bait, great price.

works just as well as any other crankbait

I've had very good success with the Frenzy divers. As jdw 174 stated, they're a bargain at retail, and a steal at $1.00.

I bought one of these in the med diver and I am having a heck of a time tuning it.
