Hi All, I just finished up my first batch of Molly Diver cranks for release. The bait has a 9.5” long body length and is over 10” with the lip. The weight is around 3.5 oz. The bait has a slow rise with 3/0 round bend Mustads. It will dive to 8’ on a cast and will troll to 10’ with 100’ of line out. It is made from a hand poured 12lb density polyurethane foam. This gives it a density halfway between balsa and cedar. The bait has a hand formed closed loop through wire weighting harness and a hard epoxy finish. All craftsmanship is guaranteed. No video is available at this time, but they work like a good crankbait should. This batch I’m bringing to the Milwaukee show in a couple of weeks. I plan to make one more batch before springtime and am now starting a build list.

Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | I was lucky enough to “test” a proto of this lure. I really liked it. The pattern I had was very similar to that purple cisco pattern shown above. It has a lot of flash to it with just a straight retrieve which you don’t get with a lot of cranks like this. It kicks around nice when jerked. I was getting 6-8’, maybe deeper, on a cast with jerks incorporated. So if you wanted to get deeper on a cast you can by eliminating the jerks, or at least how many you do. I do have video of it from my GoPro, but haven’t gotten to downloading it onto my computer yet. Look for this to be a great bait this year! Mike I will need a “set” of these guys! I’ll contact you about it. I mention it to make sure you don’t sell all of them as I don’t think I can make it to Milwaukee. | ||
