Crappie Crankbaits

[Riverc]

Getting setup to try some longlining for crappie.I have a happy troller on the way to help slow my motor down found it on ebay for $45 plus $10 shipping.

Well I am looking for crappie crankbaits.Have it narrowed down to The Rebel Crank-R or the 300 Bandit.Not sure which one I want they both seem to be good fish catchers.

Hopefully I can get enough feedback to help me make a decision on which one.

We have been trolling for them a lot the last few weeks. Bomber's have outfished bandit's in my boat the last month. Also I have been using the new deep diving rattling thin fin in the smaller match the hatch size. They work great but you have to replace the hooks on the thin fin, the one's they come with suck. Post up some info on it a few days ago.

The Bandit 200/300 are popular. I haven't heard too much about the Rebel. I think it's all a matter of preference. Here's a couple related threads that may help.
