Howdy,

Aside from the obvious differences you can read about in product descriptions, how do these baits compare to one another?

I always used Cranes and loved their action but was alway disappointed in their color selection, poor hooks, and the lips falling out (I have a box full of broken ones) but I have caught a TON of fish on them.

How do the Big Games compare? Are they a better mousetrap or something different that necessitates having both?

Take care,

Ruddiger

I like both. Big Game are definitely more durable but caught my first Musky on a Crane Bait and still partial to them. Crane baits seem lighter and can be fished effectively as shall twitch baits. If you are in the Minocqua area stop in Kurt's Island Shop. They have custom colors Crane baits.

Big Games hold up better and have better hardware on them. Have a ton of colors to chose from with the big games the real fish ones they had at shows this year look incredible.
They put a lot of fish in my boat each season

My only concern with Big Game is the plastic lips don't hold up well. Broke two on rocks without hitting them very hard. That being said, the Big Game has been my most productive crank bait over many, many years.
