Them some bad little dudes!!!!!
I am sitting here looking at a box full.....UPS delivered them last night
I am about to dip my feet (or crankbait) in the water for crappie. So far I have only used jigs. If you were to run half jigs and half cranks what do you think would the split be on fish caught on jigs vs. cranks?
I want to try the crank baits, just trying to figure out what works best.
I really like that gold chrome with a black back.
? are they.
Arkie crankbaits Mr Jim, they are smaller than a Bandit and ideal for pushing!!
Cool thanks.
Problem is trying to run them side by side. Speed going to be a lot faster with the cranks than you would normally pull jig's. Now think if that's what you want to do I'd try pushing a couple out the front while pulling jig's. Seems to me they push better at slower speed than pulling.
I have been having luck pushing the smaller Flicker Shads. Just wish they had better colors.
Steve and I wore the crappie out at Okatibbee pushing the little Arkie cranks with the 3 oz pushing weight. We let out 10 ft of line which had it running about 8 ft deep. I just got 50 more of the Arkie cranks in the mail yesterday.
I know it will be a sacrifice on my part but I am willing to take all Arkie crank baits during that difficult breakin period so as not to have any crappie fisherman or women injured. :Rofl:biggrin
Yes, about 3 foot in front of the crank.
It's an in-line trolling weight that's 3 ft up the line from the crankbait. The weight pulls the bait down to the depth you want to run it.

10-4....never trolled or pulled cranks....I like my single pole....but may give it shot one of these days.....I don't need the fish but do like being on the lake regardless....
