    Default Arkie crankbaits


    I'm wanting to start pulling crankbaits this summer. What's your opinions on the Arkie crankbaits I like the price but don't want to waste money on something that won't work. The colors are close to bandits Thanks

    Mike, they are an excellent PUSHING crankbait but a little small for pulling, just work better pushing and yes they work well. Arkie will have some bigger cranks out the end of March or so and they will run a lot like a Bandit 300, gonna have several CUSTOM colors by our own ScottV from the MS board.

    I spent three weeks testing and figuring the depth curve on the NEW Arkie 350 crankbaits that John is talking about and I can tell you this....They run true out of the box, they have a great wiggle, they dive faster than most and have a little wider wiggle. Great colors too. And the price is gonna be right. Should be out end of March or , by mid April.

    Ok I'll wait until they come out and give them a try. Can you get buy with just a 300 series bait or do you need the different sizes. Like the 100 and 200 series. Thanks

    You will be just fine with the 300 series.

    I have used the cranks for pushing last year and caught good fish on them.

    I don't know anything about the bigger crank they are coming out with as I guess I am out of the loop. Glad to see other folks still trying and fishing the product.
