dives to,fat rap, norman baby N

I'm a little biased but I feel my own baits are the best all around crank baits.

These cranks look great!!  You make them yourself??  Do you sell them??

i am new to LMB fishing this season so i am no expert, i have thrown LC's, rapala, and norman cranks....the LC's out produce the others by far....they have caught more and bigger fish...mainly the Fat BDS-2 in american shad

With cost in mind, I gotta go with Normans -- price is good and they have pretty good hooks too. I'm almost to the point of fishing Norman's exclusively because I do so well with them, especially this year.

The bandits are really affordable and they are good fish catchers too, but their hooks are fairly weak and bend open easily after a few fish.

Guys look! I was out today and worked a couple of my new cranks.  I have been taking everyones advice.  I bought a Rapala DT 6 in Bluegill Color.  I was only out for about 3 hours and it was nasty and humid.  I caught one that measure (only takes 14" in Indiana) he was about 14 1/2.  I also caught two dinks.  The cast after my last fish I snagged up and even with my retriever could not get it loose.  I almost went it after it.  Oh well have to buy more :.  thank for all the good advice.

I only started using Lucky Craft a few months ago but I can assure you its well worth the money. If money is the issue, I would go with the Rapala DT or the Mann's Baby -1 and -4. Before I started fishing Lucky Craft, it was Mann's in shallow water situations and Rapala in deep water but almost always now its Lucky Craft I had immediate success with this lure and have stayed hot with ever since.

these are great for the price

The baits I make do it for me.   I can cover eveything from the surface down to 18-20 feet.

bombers are a good choice, and cheap. rapala original floaters are also pretty effective, topwaters are the most fun though
