Lucky Craft Crankbaits

[westsweeper4]

I am looking into getting some Lucky Craft crankbaits.... I already have some of the LVR series and topwaters and I like them a lot so I think I will try some of thier other cranks.

Now for my questions....

1) So far I know that I am going to get the Flat CB series for "finesse" cranking. However I cannot seem to find diving depths on the BDS series. Which set of baits would cover the entire water column in a "fat" model? Or which is better the BDS series or the Moonsault series?

2) I like to keep my color choices limited as these baits are rather expensive to be buying every color. So, if you had to choose a number of colors, lets say less than 6 to cover all situations which would the be?

I only have four in the LVR series and I think that they are Spring craw, Ghost minnow, Chartruese shad and Chartruese greens. Would these work for the crankbaits too?

I would really like to stick to 4 colors if at all possible, for simplicity reasons, but if you feel that I would need 6 to cover all situations the go ahead and list 6.

Thanks for the input in advance!!!!!!

The Fat BDS Series cranks are shallow baits.  I believe they run down to about 4'-5' max.

The Flat CB series is an excellent flatter sided model for all depths.

For fatter plugs, the CB series is a more round bait like a Norman or Bomber A series.

The four colors you have are excellent colors.  You have a craw color, a chartreuse color and two excellent baitfish colors for clear/bright conditions and clear/dark conditions.  I would add one more and suggest either Aurora Black or MS American Shad, something with some bright flash.
