Location: New London, Wisconsin | Ok, first thanks to all the replies when I asked about your top ten crankbaits. I am posting one last question to the boards. In reading all the replies here and at one other board I'm adding a few new cranks to the box. I was glad to see I had and liked a bunch that were mentioned. I also make my own decisions in the end but love to be able to tap the vast knowledge here as I am still a bit of a "greenhorn" in the musky game.
Anyhow, one thing came up that I'd like your input on. I was looking to pick up a Slammmer crank and was told that they don't move enough. Granted this was one persons opinion but do they move anyu less than say a Grandma or Crane? Slammer came up on almost all the lists of "must haves" so I was suprised to hear this comment.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Labs

Location: Ames, Iowa | Labs- great question. I have moved the Crane 608 alongside the 7 inch Slammers as two of my top 5 baits after spending the summer twitching the Crane. I have found that the Slammer gives a wider twitch and roll and stays nearer/gets to the surface faster than the Crane, and it also tends to throw some water when twitched gently- I like that. The Crane has more of a thump/vibration- I think it has a tighter and more rapid/frequent wiggle- whereas the slammer tends to roll more. I had one hit on the Crane this summer by a muskie, and caught a bunch of northern on both. I find that the Crane is a little easier on the hands to work than the Slammer- less tiring.
I found both for a good price at Sportsman's Warehouse. Hope this helps.
