Location: Moses Lake, WA		Here are 5 crankbaits that I converted to be squid imitations, all with varying degrees of phosphorescent glow paint embedded in the epoxy. I'm not sure where the inspiration for the orange sweetpotato came from but I might have been drinking that night.

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan!		How does it affect the swim action of the crank? Do you have a water footage you could post?

Location: Moses Lake, WA		I don't have a video of the movement but I've fished similar lures in Alaska for sea bass, halibut, rockfish, and salmon and the presence of the tail diminishes the wiggle found in a bare or painted bait without the tail. Since squid don't propel themselves through the water the same way fish do I don't think it's much of a detriment. These are basically fished as straight line jerk baits and have been as successful as using herring for bait.
