I love them!! They were a go-to throw back for us for a few years. I am hoping that they are still being made, as I need a replacement for the one I lost in a piece of burlap or typar stuck to bottom last season...... I think that the Big Game lures in the same size that I picked up this past fall, will also come in handy.

Yes I love them too but try the 5 inch Big Game twitches if you can't find the Cranes anylonger

I prefer the 5" Slammer. If its got a lot of clear coat the better - it makes it rise so much slower.

does the slammer have a tight wiggle like the crane? I've never used a 5" crane but im guessing its like the 8"

Cranes have a very tight fast wobble that gives off a lot of vibration. Slammers have a wider slower wobble and less vibration. Both work. But I prefer the Cranes.

Sure, Crane makes 5" baits. Three models that I know of 105 is the panfish shaped body, 205 is the minnow body, and 305 is the shad shaped body. We carry them at Rollie & Helen's and I would imagine most other Crane dealers would too.
