Y'all likely know about this
Got out yesterday an pulled some crank baits on Malone. I ran over an area and the screen went black with bait and fish, thought this would be the mother load day. Right! Tried changing depths, colors, and size but they just weren't having any of it. Ran into three other boats, two minnow fishing, the third was pulling jigs. All of them made me feel better as they had one or two. We wound up with one big bruiser gill and ten crappie which two of them being blacks. While talking to the fellas pulling jigs, they shared that they pull Arkies when they pull crank baits and even gave me the web site where they buy. arkie crappie crankbaits, crank baits, arkie, crappie - The Snare Shop
Not all Arkie colors are available at Walmart. Best part of the day, it was cool enough to wear a hoody for that first run through a little fog, and the leaves jogged my memory, they do come in colors other than green. Attachment 274175Attachment 274176

That's a tough question. It would be like standing in among twenty of your best hunting buddies on opening day of dove season and asking what model shotgun is best for dove.
For me it depends on where the thermocline in summer lays in the lake you fish. Recently I've been fishing a lake where the thermocline has been 10-12' down and been pulling cranks at the 8' level. No right or wrong, figuring out which process works best for you. Which one you can make work and you enjoy.
