Default Re: Question about Cranks

No need to go crazy spending top dollar on cranks, but if you do have it like that, Koppers makes some crazy life-like lures, although I have had problems with the paint chipping. That's just about the last thing you want when you're spending 10-bucks on a lure. I think for the money, Bomber and Norman have the best cranks. Try to get an idea of how deep the lake you're fishing is going to be and match it up with the diving-depth of the crank. If you're fishing a lake that is 5-feet deep and you buy cranks that dive to 10, you're going to have problems with getting hung-up. Buy a few baits that match the forage species in the lake (herring, bluegill, shiner or even craws) and then buy some in some bright colors. There's a lot that goes into crankbait fishing, but that's the basics.
