Posts: 333 Location: menasha wi 54952 | Travis said it best......CiscoKids......a great all around crankbait. Crank it deep or bend the lip for some serious shallow twitchin!!! | ||

| Juggernaut 8 inch Boomerang, hands down the best action I have ever seen on a crank, and you can twitch it to boot. I cought 3 in late september at a lake I will not disclose. Downside is you can rarely find them cause the guy who makes them only makes so many a year and lives in WV . If anyone knows how I can hook up with Mr. Juggernaut let me know. | |||

Posts: 105 Location: Kawartha Lakes, Ontario | Without a doubt the Believer is my #1 crankbait because of its versatility. I can troll it down to 21 feet to reach deeper structure or up as high as 6 feet to cover shallow weedlines and rock shoals. I can cast it and crank or twitch it. I can even slowly crawl it across the surface. It's a deadly lure that catches big fish no matter where or how you fish it. | ||

Posts: 880 Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | I like a 10" Jake, You can fish twitch it shallow or crank it to the depths...get tired of casting and you have a bait that will troll 15 to 20 ft. Big baits catch big fish. | ||

Posts: 724 Location: Southern W.Va. | Don't laugh but a 7" Cordell Red Fin has moved more fish than anything in my box. A 5" Slammer in Perch color as caught the most. I'll raise them on the Red Fin and then switch to the Slammer. Works for me!! Mauser | ||

Posts: 389 Location: Presque Isle Wisconsin | TripleD- Makes all the right moves and can be modified by hook weight to rise-suspend-sink Original Ernie- Great structural contact and back out capability.Nice erractic action can be acheived over open water Sinking Shark ( Straight model ) Big fish lure when fished deep. The twin leader attachments give it an unparreled set of options and actions Cisco Kid-Great open water bait with good action in the right hands \ | ||

| The old 9" grandmas are second to none at triggering fish. Since my supply continues to dwindle due to broken lips, the 10" Jake is filling in very nicely. I don't care for the lip on the new grandmas. I also catch fish on DR's, Ernies, and Bagleys. Can't wait to try a couple DD's this summer, I think they'll really rip. J.Sloan BFO | |||

Posts: 419 Location: Appleton, WI | There's so many good crankbaits out there. The most consistent producers for me have been Jointed Shallow Raiders, Depth Raiders, Cisco Kids, Triple D's, Jakes and Believers. Jointed Believers have been the money makers for me as of lately. catch ya later, Krappie | ||

Posts: 1938 Location: Black Creek, WI | I'm addicted to erratic action yet am a total control freak with lures. I want to fish fast and I want to fish slow. I fish deep.... I fish shallow..... and often want to do both at the same time. I target aggressive fish but often end up finessing reluctant fish. I don't have a lot of time, so changing lures often is not an option. Oh yeah... and I am brutal on baits so I need something with excellent durability to withstand my abuse, neglect, and tinkering habits. That is why I like crankbaits. I have many favorite cranks... but the two most well known are probably the TripleD and the Jake. jlong | ||
