Super User AK-Jax86 Posted March 6, 2014 Super User Posted March 6, 2014 Cool, your gonna love it! I ordered the River 2 Sea Cranky M in red tiger craw, have you ever used these ones before? I believe they got 0-6ft Quote
CAbassboy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I ordered the River 2 Sea Cranky M in red tiger craw, have you ever used these ones before? I believe they got 0-6ft Well, coming from the fact that i am not the biggest squarebill guy, i mainly throw the biggies if im gonna throw a squarebill. But, i have used the Cranky M a few times at small ponds/golf course ponds and i have caught a few. My favorite color is Aurora Chartreuse shad, Kinda like a sexy shad color. But yes, it is a good bait! And yes they go about 6-8 foot depending on witch model you get. Although i havent tried the Red Craw color yet in that model i bet it would work great throwing it against the shore line and giving it a nice slow retrieve with small pauses! I have had one friend bring the idea of putting suspend dots on it to give it more of a crawfish presentation on the shore. Haven't tried it yet but doesn't mean it isnt a good idea! T Quote
Cast_And_Blast Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Just gonna reintegrate the KVD 1.5. My friend caught his PB an 8.5 liber on one last summer. Quote
Crankinstein Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I def agree with the KVDs and DT6s for standard cranking. To the post above me I also caught my personal best on a KVD but it was a 1.0 and strangely enough it was also an 8.5er, Theres a pic of it in my gallery. I've also used that cranky M and I think its a solid lure as well. I would also recommend the Luck E Strike Rick Clunn series cranks, they are awesome. The RC freak jr has the most amazing action I've ever seen from a crank bait, it has a "deep diving square bill" and is an absolute fish catching machine(I had two 30+ fish days using just that lure). I just placed an order for some Duo Realis M65s which I've heard are supposed to be pretty good, I will let you guys know how they are after I fish them later this month. Quote
Wbeadlescomb Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Excalibur xcs100 my favorite squarebill it catches fish anywhere anytime of the year Quote

I was messing around at my pond the other evening with a new reel. I had already went around the lake with a crappie jig without a bite I figured they weren't biting took the 1.0 out of the box tied it on a preceded to catch 10 in half an hour. I picked up an extra to put in my panic box if I need a limit in a tournament. 1 Quote
Crankinstein Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 That's awesome! That little KVD 1.0 is quite the lure, It has a special place in my tackle box. I really like the chrome sexy shad color. Quote

What's great about it is even though it's small it still has enough weight to be able to throw on a baitcaster and has great hooks. hard combo to find in a bait that small.im hoping it will really shine when the bass are schooling on small shad and it's hard to catch them with anything else 1 Quote
Xyndifor Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 How much does size matter on these crankbaits? I know everyone is talking about the kvd 1.5s. I have a bunch of KVD 2.5s at the moment in varying sexy shad variations and bluegill patterns. I'm trying to get into crankbait fishing more this year to put another tool in my box for searching water more efficiently. Quote

I generally try to match the shad size which can vary depending on time of year and what lake your on. Quote
