Looking for a certain crankbait

Featured Replies

Saw this on TV awhile back.Forget the name,but however....this guy was fishing a bluegill crankbait with a Blue colored lip.He was crushing his fishing partner 3 to 1.

Does anybody know where i can find this?Or is there some sort of secret to make the diving lip blue?I don't know the name of the lure as he didn't give out exactly what he was using other than "bluegill crankbait".

I'm gonna do some experimenting from something i have in mind how to turn that lip into a transparent blue.

Grab it by the nose, when it can't breath it will turn blue , hope this helps!

I've never seen a crank with a blue bill, but it should be easy to paint, either with a Sharpie or a Spike It dipping product.  

Sounds kind of like Storm would make. I saw a guy tieing one on in bassin'.

Rapala makes some cranks with a red bill. Never seen the blue though. Best bet is to try spike-it. That way you can always neutralize it and return your bill back to its normal color. Another thing that has worked for me is taking model paint and painting your rear treble a light blue. If you fish in a lake where bluegill are primary forage this works well. Gives the hue of the blue in their tail.

if you color one side of the bill with a blue sharpie then it will make the bill a transparent blue.

good luck!
