• Thunderstorms, Crappie, and Rebel Crankbaits

    Hook one and his son Will and I drove the three hour drive down to Okatibbee near Meridian in MS this morning. When we arrived we met up with ScottV and Scott took Will On his boat and Hook One and I went in mine. We were pulling and pushing crankbaits at the same time. Pulling six rods on the back of the boat and pushing two rods with three oz. weights on the front. We were trying out the Crappie Crank-R's by Rebel. They are some great crankbaits as they have fantastic colors and run true right out of the package.




    Had a small thunderboomer pop up first thing this morning and we rode it out catching fish all the while. The Rebels in Tail Light and Fire Fly colors worked great.



    The rain and wind finally let up and we thought we were good to go. Put on a pink Rebel and started catching fish again.


    Caught a lot of dinks and even some catfish on the cranks.


    We caught some keepers as well.

    Then another thunder cloud moved in and it started raining big time......we packed up our gear and went back to the ramp to load the boats up. We had 15 keepers, we got wet twice, we had fun, and can't wait to do it again.

      Good story of a good trip. Now I can look at those Rebel cranks a bit more seriously, seeing that they worked for y'all. I hate being the guinea pig. Again. I'm new to trolling cranks. Thanks for sharing.

      I've been using the Rebels for a while, great colors and, like G said, run true.
