Location: Willoughby, Ohio | Does anyone know of somewhere to find a crankbait that simulates a crappie in shape and color? I remember seeing one that did at the Chautauqua outing last August but I don't remember who was selling them and I can't think of any others out there. Thanks and tight lines! |

Ron Bentley makes these and the shad body style in Crappie color looks more like a crappie than a crappie does...:)

Location: Minneapolis,Minnesota | Yep....good spring twitch bait. When everyone is throwing 6" Jakes and Grndmas I throw it...it's gives them a different look that'll usually pay off.

Location: Angola, IN | I have a great crappie twitch bait. It's from Crazy D's. I don't know what it's called. I got at the MuskieFirst outing on the Cave a few months ago. It has a great twitch action though. I'm gonna throw it some more this spring. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Divani shipped a crappie shaped glider last year that runs like a watch, will be throwing it alot this year. Got a 44 on it late on Pelican last year. I would bet that if one begged enough, he might be able to figure out how to put a lip on that thing. |

| Hi,
I really like the crane 105! It is short and fat, twitches very well and has a very nice wobble. Trolls really well also. The typical crane white and black is pretty close to a crappie. I took a black permanent marker and added some odd shaped spots and bingo.
give it a try

here is a look the first is the 105 the second a 104 but the color I mentioned

Could you send me a pic of the bait? I asked Dirk and he didn't have a pic of one.
Thanks!
