Nice lil crankTried this lil lure out cause I thought I looked interesting! Took it out today and caught a few! Lost a few too. Maybe it’s the one treble? User error? Not sure, but I was impressed with the hooks after catching a decent sized bass! The action is pretty sweet with a slow steady retrieve. When I speeded up the retrieve I noticed it doing a lil sided action deal. Still caught fish none the less! At that price give it a shot! Can’t go wrong. Just wish my bass pro had the baby bass color! I picked up the gold/black and the chrome/Black ones.

Secret WeaponThis thing has saved multiple fishing trips for me and bluegill and crappie destroy this thing. I throw it on my crappie maxx 4.8ft ultralight with 6lb test. If I set the drag just right a big bluegill will peel drag like a big ole bucket mouth. I have a blast with this thing. I recently joined "Fishbrain" and this things in 90% of my photos. People keep asking what lure it is and where can they buy it. I'm gonna buy 3 more when I go back. I just wish like other people it would dive a tad further but hey it works as is.

not worth the moneyEyelet broke off the first time I cast with it. I use a ultralight rod with the smallest reel I could find and 6 pound test line.

Good lureNot bad, wish it had a little more action to but it is rather small so maybe my expectations are a little too high. Good little lure.

Pretty good little lureHas decent action. It falls on its side on occasion, but not a huge deal. Nothing too great but the design is awesome and very unique. The little tail in the back can give it that last little detail that makes the fish wanna strike. Caught a few off it.

Decent LureI see everyone else posting about catching Pan Fish and small Bass. Sure I caught Pan Fish and Bass on it but it actually works great for Trout. Caught a 14 incher on it the other day then a few casts later it got caught in the rocks and my line broke. So I will be going to Bass Pro to get a few more. I think this bait would be a little better if it had a hook on the rear instead of on the middle of the lure. But that is just a minor disadvantage. Works really well.

INCRDIBLE TINY CRANKBAITI tried this 'lil bugger yesterday on one of my favorite ponds yesterday (3/23/12). WOW, what a plesant surprise to see how many fish couldn't help but clobber this mini crankbait (silver color)! Rock bass, Bluegills and Largmouth all took turns and slamming this 'lil guy! Most got stung by the treble and others missed, due to the lack of a tail hook.. Now I must admit that I'm a diehard Rapala man, but picked up a few of these guys during the BPS Spring Fishing Classic on a whim...GREAT CHOICE! Now as I do with all of my lures, I changed out the factory treble and split ring. For this lure, I made that changes to the Bass Pro Shops® XPS® Rick Clunn Signature™ Series Rings & an Eagle Claw® Lazer Sharp 2X Treble Hook.. The combined weight of these upgrades also caused this lure to suspend ever so slightly with a slooow rise back to the surface. I think this modified action helped provoke MANY violent strikes from the panfish to bass. One other modification I did, was to take a red Sharpie and created a red line along the molded gill flap on the lure; to create the illusion of a gill showing through the open gill flap...just a bit more realism. I can't wait to try these on my favorite streams and rivers! I know the Smallies will crush these cranks!!! GO GET SOME!!!
I want to know what the actual weight of these things is. On the package I saw at BPS it said 1/16oz. But in the description for the lure here on the website it says 1/6oz. And on the order specifications here on the website it says 3/16oz. What is the actual weight???

what is the best color
Asked by: officialbassmember
There isn’t really a “Best” color to use when fishing. One color may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish. So, when selecting a lure color take a look at your surrounds (landscape and wildlife) to determine the color of lure to use. If the water is dark and murky (or stained) use bright and/or fluorescent colors that can draw the fish’s attention to the lure. If the water is clear, look around if the area and use colors which blend with the surrounds. If the area is rocky use a brown, tan, or a similar color. If there is grass and weeds then use more of the green colors. Each location will be different so try a good range of colors. Thank you for your question.
