    Thumbs up Best Crankbaits...


    for me to fish? I fish a deep clear lake of 90 acres. Fish don't relate to structure, many wasted brushpiles. So therefore most fish are caught trolling, I mean long lining, behind the boat.

    I am just curious what is the best brand and size crank for this type of lake? Any help and input will be appreciated.

    could try some Bandits, or even maybe a Bandit, but I always use Bandits. 100's, 200's, or 300's depending on the depth of your lake and fish. check in to the MS forums there are several crank pullers there with a wealth of knowledge.

    Bandits are great, and the BPS wally marshall now crappie cranks are just as good and a little cheaper. I have caught more crappie with a small jointed rapala with a little added weight in fire tiger pattern. I don't ever go trolling without them.

    X2, don't forget to try the black cranks. They caught a lot of fish for me this year.

    Bandits are very popular and should be, but also try Berkley Flicker Shad, and Jointed #5 Shad Raps.

    I'm guessing this is what you are talking about, had thought of getting a few to try.
