Skeetbum, I finally found the cranks you gave me way back when. It only took 2 months, but I found them in one of the boxes of the move. Yep, almost done unpacking. Well, not sure It'll ever be done, but close enough.

I see you mentioned the ScottV influence in your note. Very nice. Can't wait to use them. Thanks again skeet.
looks good
Very nice, especially finding them later, kind of like getting a present 2 times.
Glad you found em, and good luck when you give em a pull. If you get hung and lose a hook give me a holler. The hooks have lighter split rings than the nose so that theoretically that hook ring will go and the nose will hold , leaving you with the bait minus a hook. Easier than replacing the whole bait. Now if the bill gets hung, just say goodbye.. Hope they do well for you.
Cool skeet, thanks again buddy. Hope they catch me a three pounder.
I think you need a gill net for a three pounder Slab. :fish
Me! I'm gonna need more than that!Quote:

Aw shucks, Thanks Sam.
Do you all typically fish the crankbaits in deeper water? Over 10' or so? Or just anytime it feels right?
By pushing them you can pretty much dial em in to the depth you want. I usually drag em til something says uncle, me or the fish. I'm still learning how it works best down here but I had it figured out in TN. Warmer weather had em sitting just above the thermocline and 50 or more in a few hours was common.
Wow, when I'm long lining jigs I will often throw a tiny, sinking rapala and catch on them but nothing that digs so deep.
Nice and colorful selection for sure!
I had been told for years to try a black bait and never gave it much thought. When I started pulling cranks I bought a black Bandit 300 and was surprised at how well it produced. I always have a solid black out in my spread now, always at least 6 rods unless I can't keep up with em. A little glitter in the clear coat helps all the colors work a bit better too.
