Reply With QuoteTalk to "mrdux" from the KY state forum .... he buys blanks and paints his own cranks. He buys from wlure.com and gets the UPC255 & UPC549 blanks, I believe. I also believe I read where he doesn't care much for their hooks, though.

Painting cranks?
I am considering getting into painting crank baits. Can anyone recommend a good tried and true unpainted crank bait. I would prefer to be able to purchase from a crappie.com sponsor however if there isn't one I'll get them wherever I can. Thanks

What CP said - but if you buy the unpainted blanks they do not come with hooks or split rings. The numbers the CP gave are for the unpainted blanks.

Blanks are at the bottom of the first page.

I have crappie on both of these. Better color results are achieved when painted white before applying other colors. I get them from AliExpress.com for about 60 cents each when purchased 20 at a time. I usually go with suppliers that offer free shipping. The down side is 5 weeks to deliver. If you want I will post a pick of painted ones also.

Crappie wrangler what size or number are they? Do you know how deep they run like in comparison to the Bandit 200 & 300 series. I would love to see some painted ones. Thanks

C-55's from wlure, wiggle warts from predator bass baits, and bandit 200 blanks from dinger custom baits. All three are good ones to order to paint

That's a lot nicer paint job than mine. Those look down right good. Mine are just hand painted with a hobby paint kit. I only use them early in the season when I can cast and retrieve. I'm not much into trolling. I gotta say again RK1's look really good. I don't have any artistic talent. You asked about depth, I think anywhere you purchase there will be a variety of depths available.
4 are from China 1 is store bought. I will try to get some links

Go to AliExpress.com. Do a search for unpainted crank baits then search for what fancies you. One example below. These are 25 for $10.32
