Pole Bender is 100% right...color can really matter...I was out a couple weeks ago...we were pulling 4 cranks....all bandits...one color out fished all others...did not matter which depth...200 or 300 series...that color was catching fish while others were not....The person I was out with that day prefers bandits, but I really prefer the Bomber Fat Free Shad as I catch them casting much more than I do with the others, but just as well pulling....They are a great little crankbait and I think the crappie like the profile much better...The Norman's are my second choice and then Bandits....And I totally agree that a higher percentage of the fish you catch on cranks will be bigger fish...Good Luck
