Does anyone buy these? I have a few, but I rarely ever take them out of the tackle box. I know they are good for a stop and go retrieve.

Not sure how to use them and for what situations.

Let me know.

One my favorite suspending cranks is the Shad Rap RS, what crank you can have that stays at the desired depth for the longest period of time posible ? a suspending crank, it stays where you want it ( in theory ) indefinately.

There are times when you want the bait to stay the most time posible at places and/or at depths where you can 't make any other bait stay for extended periods of time, for example:

1.- when the fish are not into active mood but you can catch them just by dangling, twitching and ripping the bait long enough to make them curious, angry or "hey, what the heck, it looks edible, I 'm not hungry but, oh well, a snack ain 't goona hurt me". If you dangle the bait on their face for long enough in most cases you 'll catch them, it 's only a matter of patience.

2.- when the fish suspend and your other baits don 't stay long enough for the fish to get interested in them or they suspend at depths where other methods of presenting baits are almost out of the question ( you ain 't gonna dropshot with a 20 ft leader are you ? ).

Those are the kinds of situations where a bait that suspends comes into play and suspending crankbaits are great for that.

Sizmic toads in high-floating will float up a 3/0 gammie.

i have the best luck in this kind of weather  like when the bass are feeding up for winter  they will suspend in water just off a shallow ledge to getting ready to go to deep water  kb   i use  rapala fat free fry  in a shad color

I like the Rapala Husky Jerk or the Lucky Craft Pointer.

Later,

I have two of the Newer Bagley Suspending KB2s.  They are OK, but nothing special.  I want to try the Rapala Shad Rap RS, but I'm trying to take it easy on buying tackle.
