    Default Crankbait Supplier Comparison: Bandit vs Arkie vs Pico vs Jenko


    I have used 3 out of the 4 of these manufacturer crankbaits, and have caught fish on all of them, but consistently caught on 2 of the 3.
    So, leaving personal feelings out of this discussion, relationships, prostaff positions, and the list goes on, let's get down to the brass tacks of why one performs better than the other. Day in and day out, which is the best performing crankbait?
    Again, performance and catching fish is all that we are after. Crappie could care less who makes them!
    Let the selling begin.....

    Well which two?

    I've only used bandits. They do ok. Certain colors seem to out perform others though.

    Bandchaser,

    Which two are the most consistent for you? I'm playing with Arkies and Bandits right now, got a couple of Jenkos and zero Pico's.

    My personal feeling is its all about what the fish want. I have arkie's bandit's and some strike kings and for me it seems to be day to day on what the fish want. I have had days that I only catch fish on arkie's then other days only bandit's. Its all about what the fish want for me!

    Well a good example is the week of crankfest.... I had been fishing grenada all summer cathing most of my fish on arkies, when i got to enid I only caught fish on bandits. Coulda been the lake or just the day but bandits were the only bait they wanted! And a orange bandit at that!

    I fish em all, with that said I sold 98% of amy Bandits last week and do not regret it. I have and use Arkie's, Pico's and Jenko's. I start off with a mix of Arkie's and Pico's and if need be I throw in some Jenko's. Arkie's the most simply because of color selection but as Erin said at Enid during CrankFest there were a couple days that I could only catch them on Jenko's, did not try Bandits.
