my local farm&home store has all sizes of these on clearance for 3.00 and 2.00 also 

How do they fish? I saw the paint jobs and could not pull the trigger and put one in my basket, especially at full price.

They're my favorite big swimbait. My favorite one is a Hitch (which I believe he calls shad now), that they're starting to chew the paint off of. It's a wake bait and it looks just like a big, injured baitfish limping along the surface.

I was questioning the Berkley cranks, not cool looking Muskie/Bass bait. There was something about the new Berkley cranks that just looked off to me.

I've had great luck with the new Berkleys, especially the Wild Thang and Pitbull but the Digger 6.5 has been good too. It works a lot like a plastic DT6. Their Skinny Cutter 110 was one of my top producing baits of the year this spring and winter. They even come with good hooks so they're ready to fish out of the package.

I dont use any berkley cranks. I had a few berkleys in the past,and they were junk. These remind me of them to much to get them, cheap price though. Most of the color patterns are just to strange for me, but fish might diggem : )

I guess I'm going to find out. I haven't used the digger but I had a lot of success last spring and summer with a pitbull in the bluegill color ("gilly").

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Well, I am not talking about how much I spent over the last two years getting my rod building shop set up. Thats where all my extra toy money has been going.

Yeah the lure caught me. The weight for its size is what Im going to like. The pic makes it look bigger its maybe 1-7/8" long and 1/2" at tallest point about 1/4" thick . Going to have great distance for sure hopefully it catches fish.

I have two St Croix's that will try it on. Avid 8' ML/Moderate and a Legend Elite 7'6" M/F. Im leaning towards the Avid for ned rig use.

Yeah I was trolling threw tw but they are totally out of the bd2s. Very nice order my brother, those are some very productive colors in my neck of the woods.

[Scarborough817]

[burrows]

I think I'll take that shiny one mister, thank you very much.

I'm blaming this on Bassresource.com when the wife comes at me with a fry'n pan.......I took this pic 2 hours ago, I had to go help my mother and on the way home I stopped at a tackle shop near her house. Now there are 2 Strike King 2.5's (chili craw)  added to the collection that are not pictured. The St. Croix is 20 miles away at the Fed-Ex terminal, be here tomorrow. And the Lews Get'r back lure retriever will be here next week. Guess I will be sling'n crank baits in 2017 just got to make myself lay the jig rod down.
