    Default Cranks on a limited budget


    I'd like to try pulling cranks but I don't have any. If you guys only had a little money to invest what brand and color would you buy? I think I'm good with the rod holders and rods that I have now.

    Northwoods in Pinconning Michigan has all sorts of cranks at or below wholesale. I run size 4 and 5 flicker shad and I think they had them for 2.37 each. We purchase 90% of our cranks from there.

    Look online for unpainted cranks. I ordered some awhile back, I think it was a 25 pack for $15 or $20 . It took a month for them to get here . Typing this reminds me, I need to paint them.

    Arkie's are probably the cheapest production baits. Color --- something with pink or an orange stripe on it's belly.

    Go to any local "swap meets" and you can usually pick up a variety of "gently used" cranks for a few $ each.

    Check the bargain bins at Wally World or other such outlets that carry fishing equipment.

    Watch for sales at Academy, Sportsmans, Cabelas, BPS, etc.

    Keep your eye on the Classifieds of this site.

    Enter the site sponsor contests that contain cranks in their prize outlay.

    Just checked them out and was a little irritated that they do not sell flickers online.

    But I’ll be honest I’ve not had the best of luck pulling cranks on rough river.
