Ok, wanna expand my crankbait line, I have most all Bandits

and was wandering what other bait you guys pull instead of Bandits? I want the that will run like a 300 and I guess about the same size also. I have looked at some of Strike King #5 I believe it is and is looks pretty close. Just wantin to stay in the price range like bandits. Cant go with the Lucky Craft or Yo Zuri ones, just cant make myself pay that kinda price for something that the odds are I will contribute it to the bottom of the lake. Now mind you, the Yo Zuri are some life like, fine looking baits but just cant do it

thanks

Hey Larry, did you ever check out the Worden's Fatfish? The last I heard was that you had talked to the guy that had those. I know DoubleGobble got some and I think DD did too. I got 20 and I like them.

You've got the Wally Marshals or what BPS is calling the Crappie Max Cranks without paying Wally for the use of his name. Think they're on sale for $2.99 right now.

Rebel Crappie Crank-R - Firefly

Here's the rebels. Just checked BPS and the max cranks are not on sale online at least, but I was pretty sure I saw a flyer mailed to me - maybe father's day sale that had them for $2.99....maybe I was wrong and they were $3.99. That's the price on BPS.

I picked up the 50 from the guy and they lok real good. Just be careful and read what he says on his bait. Sometimes it's all fatfish and other times he has some of the big baits in there

I agree with creek.....you just can't hardly beat Bandits.....they also seem to have the largest color selection.

Hey Creek, have you seen what that site wants for shipping? They want $31.71 to ship 4 Bandits. Total was gonna be $47.68. Wow

That is for 2nd day air. But you would still have to buy several to offset the shipping cost.
05-13-2011, 04:03 PM

Yea, 2nd day air or overnight was all they offered.

Go to check out...there is a 20% discount that you get at that time......also chose ground shipping for the cheaper shipping rate.

Creek, that's $5.00+ per bait. That ain't no bargin.

I guess I didn't go far enough. When I saw the price of the 2nd day air, I got off of there. Lol I looked at the New Rebel Crappie Crank-Rs and they look good. The colors gave me some painting ideas anyway.

I must not be reading something right. Creek said it was $10 shipping for 6 baits. Right? 6 X's $4 = $24 + $10 shp. = $34. '/. 6 = $5.67 each. I can buy Brad's Wigglers cheaper than that and they outfish bandits.

Everything is cool maachuu......just sort everything out, lol. Now then....alternatives to Bandits
Wiggle warts
Brads Wigglers
Cabelas Grave Diggers
BPS Crappie Max
StrikeKIng SlabHammer Crappie Cranks
and there are many others........ I have even caught some crappie pulling lipless crankbaits like Rattle Traps and I caught some pulling a Walleye lure, the Erie Dearie......so just look around and buy a few of what you think looks good and try it....you never know you might come up with a winner. But all around I just like Bandit 300's, large color selection, they run true.....some of the others I have had to spend some time tuneing to get them to run true. I also like the Mr. Crappie crankbaits which are now the BPS Crappie Max and no longer have Wally's name on them, they are good baits. I don't have any Brad's Wigglers but I do want to get some and try them as I have heard a lot of good things about them.

Morris for it to be a bargin you have to buy in quanity.If you are just buying a couple baits you are way better off to just pay full price @ BPS. If the Wigglers out fish the Bandits I don't want any of them. I catch more than I can keep up with on the Bandits.:D

I think you guys are missing the point of the thread here.....Maachuu started this thread and told us that he has plenty of Bandits....He wanted to know what other crankbaits could he get to catch crappie with.
