| I love Crane Baits! My wife and I have don very well on them. We have so great custom colors that have a very durable finish on them. A few of them have multiple fish with VERY little evidence that anything ever touched them. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | CustomX 6" Chubby X. They are my favorites and you can get every one to run true. Other brands mentioned above have been unreliable and were not able to be tuned properly. |

Location: Not far enough north! | 10" Jakes are my favorite bigger bait
Little Claws, by Kingfisher for smaller profile. (Wanna talk about 180's and hang time, these are the best!) |

| your right there are many and they all work.. cranes--big games--talonz are very good baits but here are a few that haven't been mention that are very well built and catch fish.. rj lures and the 10" twitchin smity.. hoosiers handmade makes some real nice twitch baits and the 10" and 14" trueglide twitches are unreal.. |

| Slammers all the way. Hands down one if the most durable crank baits made, not to mention the paint job and clear coat are second to none |

| Slammers all the way. As far as tech. twitch, twitch, 1/4 pause, twitch. Repeat all the way to the boat. Steve, Jim, and Craig will swear to this technique. |

We should be ready to release the perfected technique by Wisconsin's opening day! |

9" grandma shallow divers
What's the general depth range of the shallow version. Can't seem to find any specs on it |

| id say up to 8' or so if you reel them down hard at first. Id guess i work them in the 2-8' range or so. |
