This is only my second year to crank for crappie and I already have more baits than I expected. At least for the 2 lakes that I fish, you only have 1 of my top 4 colors for numbers of fish in the boat. I think I have 6 or 7 of the other colors that you have, but so far, they don't stay in the water long if they are getting out fished. At least most days where I fish, color make a difference. I do see one of your colors that I "need" to purchase. Hope you have as much fun as we have!

Mike Baker has some great videos, I agree. I would love to get a chance to fish with him sometime!
I think these fishermen are giving you some solid advice. Fortunately, for cranking you dont need the newest & best rods and reels.
Marine4life thanked you for this post

These look pretty cool. I wonder if I buy the 96 slot size if I can maintain the discipline to not obtain more than will fit in that box. Lol.

Figure out how big of one you need then triple it. You will fill it up in a year or two.

Thanks again for everyone’s help. I pieced together some bass tackle I had and picked up a couple new rods and reels so things will be a bit more user friendly. I probably went a bit over board on new crankbaits but Academy sells them for a lot cheaper than bass pro and I got some darker colors.
If you could help with one more question it would be great. What is your thought on hi vis line? Does is spook fish or does it not matter? I use it a lot single pole and it doesn’t seem to bother them but wanted to check before spooking up.

I only use Hi Vis line when cranking. It doesn't spook the fish at all

IMPOSSIBLE!
I would add one caveat to Speck's reply......... it depends the clarity of water you're fishing. I had to adapt from the muddy waters of Mark Twain and Truman to the clear waters of Lake Michigan, Lake Winnebago, Delavan, Geneva, etc...... because hi-vis line definitely has an impact. If you're staying in MO, you should be just fine.

Can’t wait for this week to be over - ready to go fishing. My son and I are going to fish Saturday evening and Sunday morning so expect a report following. I pulled together some old bass gear and added a couple new rods/reels and have the crank baits organized. Only problem is all those open slots in the B&B crank box are bothering me. Lol.
