Cotton Cordell® Big O® Crankbaits
In 1967, when Fred Young carved the first Big O Crankbait from a block of balsa wood, he created a legacy. When Cotton Cordell began making the Big O, great care was taken to keep the precise action and running depths the same as the balsa model. The fact that after 20 years the Big O is still an active part of "crankbait" history is testimony to this lure's capabilities.
2'' models dive 2'-4'.
2-1/4'' models dive 3'-5'.
3'' models dive 4'-6'.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by brownie620 my favorite crankbait
The Big O is my favorite crankbait, and I am sorry to see the number of colors available being reduced. Also from my last purchase, the Chrome color shed its finish way too soon. I am afraid the quality has been lowered and this bait will soon disappear.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by TheLegend Best Overall Lure Ever
Since introduced to me in 1990 I have caught more fish on it than all my other lures combined. In Canada I cast along shore and catch smallmouth near shore and then walleyes and northerns deeper on the same cast. The chartreuse 2 1/4 is best but the 3" trolls great for norhtherns. It casts into the wind perfectly using an open face and 20 pound Power Pro line. Best overall lure ever.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by RivermedicTX A must for bass
I have used the Big "O" since 1985 and have caught 1000's of large mouth. I will always have them in my box and on my line. I have caught the most bass on a Smokey Joe in Texas, Arizona and California.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Marabou11 #1 Square Bill in the St-Lawrence
This crankbait is the most used by fishermen in the St-Lawrence for smallmouth bass. I gave 4 stars because of the poor hooks on them. I always change them with a VMC Barbarian red hook on the front and a VMC Sureset hook on the back. I personally use the 2"1/2 in the crawdad color (avoid the natural crawdad color).

I would try out a KVD Square Bill Crankbait. Those lures have great action, and perfect color schemes. They have a silet version and a rattlin version. Go with a Sexy Shad or Sunfish (or whichever you prefer, they all are great). You'll be golden.Answers

There's no correct answer for that. The best color depends on forage, water clarity, and depth.A:Â

is the Cotton Cordell Wiggle O or the Storm Wiggle Wart a better all-round crankbait for bass?
Details:Â
i have a CC wiggle o but should i get a storm wiggle wart also?Answers
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
Wiggle Wart is far better.A:Â
I've caught bass on both lures, and also many northern pike. Not sure which catches fish better, they seem pretty even there, but I think the Wiggle O is built better, having retrieved a few Wiggle Warts with only the lip on the end of my line... the body actually separated from it! That's NEVER happened with a Wiggle- O nor a Big O. Also pike and bass seem to really like the chartreuse wiggle/big ODetails:Â
and do you know if the CC Wiggle O is good?BPS doesnt sell them and i cant find them anywhere else.
where can i find them and what kind of fish are they good for?
