Great little twitch bait! I'll work them differently depending on the day. I usually stick with a twitch twitch pause or some variation of that. Other times I want a less aggressive action so I'll slow down and straight crank it back and allow the massive vibration the bait itself gives off to do the work.

LOVE the Cranes. You can't stop them, you can only hope to contain them. I only use the 207's and 208's.

Pull...pause....pull....pause
twitch......pause.....twitch twitch.....paaaauuuussssse
straight crank slow
straight crank fast

They are TERRIFIC in weeds, cabbage in particular, when you can contact/feel the weeds and pause to let them back off and then retrieve again. Also very good in river situations.

Yeah, the Cranes are awesome. Use a lot, my favorites (like Big Mo said) are the 207 & 208's.

I switch out all of the hooks on my Crane baits before I ever throw them. In my opinion -- the standard hooks on all versions are too small (including the little 105's).

Great twitching action!!!!
