I'm going to bite the bullet and grab a few Lucky Craft cranks. I was wondering which ones you preferred the SKT or the mini SKT? Probably each one has their place, but if I was going to buy a selection of just a few, which would be the better choice? And which depth..MR or DR. Based on the lakes I would normally be fishing seems like the MR.

Colorwise I'm thinking of rootbeer/chartreuse, gunmetal, American Shad, ghost minnow, and crack. (probably not all at once..not sure if want to drop that amount of cash yet)

For Florida fishing, like Lake Tarpon or Okeechobee, any recommendations?

I love the SKT MR Aurora Black. Mine is almost clear now so I guess I'm going to shell out another 16 bucks. I love Lucky Craft baits but I wish they would put a better clear coat on them, or whatever they need to do to make the finish last longer.

I own a few mini's and theyre great. Most of the bass in my lakes are under two pounds, thats why i use the mini's, if the bass in your neck of the woods are 2+ pounds id go with the reg. skt's.

I have both, use both, and love both. I have no issues with finish, and don't base the size of fish on the bait. I base the size of bait on what the fish want. Last year on a TX lake, one that is reasonably well known for hucking out the odd 15+ pound fish, we caught multiple double digit fish on SKT mini-MR. It's all about what the fish want. Yeah to year, they're one of my top producing baits.
