The Pico Crankbaits strike again.....

I caught one keeper on a Bandit version of a Pico crank color, but the rest of the mess were all caught on various Pico cranks.

I'm in no way associated, work for, sponsored by or receiving anything from Pico, but there is a difference in these baits verses Bandits, Arkie's and even Bombers.
The crappie absolutely love em', and I know better to say this, but I have only caught 2 slimers thus far on cranks! Maybe the kitty kats don't like Pico's, or I have been very very lucky thus far!!
Regardless, the weather folks missed the wind forecast on Sunday, and it was brutal on the main lake with some very spooky and sketchy moments. In the end, I made it back in one piece, and the new Ranger handled those rolling seas better than I had thought!!
Starting to see a shift in part of a pattern, and another pattern beginning to take shape. Sunday's box of fish were one of the better boxes of feeshes I've caught on the twin lakes in some time. We will see if these patterns continue to develop, and where they go from there.

Good job....I think its the vibration from the golf ball texture on the bodies....that and the difference in the rattles inside.

Very Nice!!

I agree I just order a hundred dollars more of them I think they are the best crankbait on the market

I completely agree with the dimple theory. It's got the crappie in trance for sure!!

Great catch, Man, that one Crappie must have weighed near 3lb based on the length after I kinda figured how long it was based on the background rod.

Your no where close! But thanks for tryin' to stretch that slab. It would have to add 1.75 lbs to get close to 3lbs.

I am convinced that the fish pick up a "signature" of wake,vibration from the lure. Exactly how that lure feels to them can make the difference between not even looking at it,to following behind it only to break off,shortstrike it,or attack it.

The bass pro's were figuring all this stuff out over the last forty years. The smallest most subtle thing made the difference between a win or a loss. The pro's were constantly tweaking and trying anything to make that difference between making that lure irresistible.

If there was ever a time when you thought all that stuff did not apply to crappie at least to some degree...well........
