Location: Central MN | I am looking to buy some 6" grandma crankbaits. On the Grandma Lure website they show 84 colors of cranks. I have looked at all the big name musky tackle shops and they only carry 15-20 colors and none of the colors that I am looking for. I tried special ordering from on of the tackle shops and it took well over a month and when I got the cranks they were the wrong models and the wrong colors. After that I email other tackles shops and they told me the same thing would happen if they were to try and special order anything from Grandma Lures including a wait time of 8 weeks. My question is does anyone know how I can get the colors that I want in a reasonable amount of time? Is there a tackle shop that carries all of their colors? Is there a tackle shop that has a really good rapport with Grandma lures to get exactly what they order?
I realize that it is impossible for a tackle shop to carry all 84 colors but since I can't order from their website, Grandma does not return my emails, or pick up the phone. I am finding it really difficult to acquire these crankbaits.
Thank you |

| Thats why I quit using them. I swiched to MX6's from Muskie Train they have similar action (Better IMO) all baits handmade in Ohio. They will paint any color or pattern you want. They also have a ton to chose from on website also. I have caught fish up to 53.5" on them. They are great for casting or trolling. Mike and Trent are great people to work with.

Location: Appleton | Maybe try calling The Sportsman in Appleton WI. I know they stock a bunch of colors and even have some customs in the shop. I know they order from Grandma pretty regularly. Good luck |

I've got a couple of their crankbaits and they're extremely well-built. Awesome paintjobs, great heaby-duty clearcoat and as mentioned - their customer service is top notch.
Sorry you're having issues getting in touch with the folks at Granda Lures. It's definitely a pet peeve of mine to see a company offer contacts via e-mail, telephone, Twitter and Facebook and NOT use them at all. I won't name any names but I tried to get ahold of a large fishing manufacturer just a few weeks ago. I left two voicemails, sent four e-mails and two messages via FaceBook. After five (yes, 5 days!) - I finally got an e-mail. Think they got my business? ...yeah, right! |
