A whole different kind of drug addiction

Now, I'm ready to go again... Thx Mitch for the fast service.

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

What do you mean by a 3 oz pushing weight? You add weight above the crank bait?

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.

Same way I used to be, summer time is when I put up my fesh for the year. Ifn I could figure out how to stay cool when loading the boat up and stuff it would be golden.
