These cranks look sweet! But the price...........

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=combat+crank+fsr&category0=

They do look sweet...I especially like the olive craw and the super ayu colors. However I'm not interested in the price paid and not being able to get insurance or a tracking number...

Supercalafradalisticexpealadoshis.

Or however Mary Poppins spells it.

Yes, they are expensive.

How about some of you guys buying a few, trying them out, and letting us know how they work. ;D

Or if the are better than the Bandits that seem to work fine.

Merry Christmas!

This is the one I have been thinking about?

I would buy that one if it was the M3 shallow runner. They are not wood but made of some form of high impact foam? Let me see if I saved the link to the site?

Allen

I just found the website. These baits are made of foam!

Very nice looking!

Allen, I see you couldn't resist! I bought the other one. I also noticed that you buy alot of spinnerbait blades.

Merry christmas

I got one of those about a month ago, but I haven't spent much time with it yet.....the only thing I'm worried about would be a lack of buoyancy...but I'll report as soon as get some experience with it.  

Take a look at this T-Rig.....they're as beautiful in the water as they are out of it....

Figured I had to have at least one Let me know if you find someplace to buy more of these as I would like the M3 in that bluegill color.

I make my own spinnerbaits and maybe selling them in the future so I buy different blades to try out.  Right now I just experiment with different prototypes and make some for friends, etc.

Allen

Spent some more time throwing this bait and comparing it to my other good flatsides.  

I must say, so far, I'm not really too impressed with the bait.   If a nice plastic flatside is on the menu, I much prefer the OSP HPF Spec 2.....it is a lot more buoyant and lively.

nice baits but i cant justify paying that much for a lure that will catch bass just as good as my $6 rapalas. :-/

Nobody said you have to buy them.

When Rapala comes out with a shallow flatsided crank, I'll be the first in line to try it......but until then, there are a LOT of crankbaits in my box that Rapala can't touch for that gig.

I should have been more specific.........a flatsided "finesse" crank.  

Think -
