    Default Bass pro xts dad' crankbait


    Has anyone used these? Specifically for brim/crappie. Bass pro has their xts mini cranks on sale and I want to give them a shot but don't want to waste the money.

    I have a whole box full of cranks that I haven't tried yet! Sorry can't help you with that maybe Fishervet has tried those or maybe G, I know they both fish crankbaits at times.

    Look for posts from "theygotaeat." He fishes the regular size crankbaits (the one you would use for bass fishing) a lot. And, I will say that he catches a LOT of crappie with them by pulling them with the trolling motor. He fishes multiple poles on either side of the boat and pulls the crankbaits and he loads his icechest with many crappie. He is from Shreveport, I believe. He would definitely know more about crankbaits than I do.

    You could probably use them for pushing with a 3 Oz weight about 5 foot above the lure I have caught crappie on just about every kind of crank under the sun
    And have found that the smaller cranks with small hooks don't hook up as well
    For that reason I don't use them

    Best bet is to just order some Arkie 350s from GrizzlyJig......they have the best prices on them. I push and pull with some of the smaller crankbaits and catch fish but just seem to do better with the larger ones.

    I usually pull six and push four at the same time at 1.8 mph
