I think the smaller crankbait is getting more bites than the larger Bandit but most of our larger keepers are also on the Arkies. We are catching the small fish on the Bandits that we're pulling also. We just had a heck of a spawn a couple of years ago apparently.

Hey ScottV, I want to buy some of those weights. Where did you get them?
