Cory20 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Where can I find some quality unpainted/clear plastic crank bodies? Just looking to avoid buying poorly made and un-tunable cranks. Thanks Cory Quote
Boett43 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Jannsnetcraft.com...pretty cheap too. A better option though is to ask some of the wood carvers on here to make you some, you know the will be high quality if you have seen anyones work on here Quote
Infidel. Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 The bass pro by my house has unpainted normans. Quote
Cory20 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 I'm going to call up the bass pro, those unpainted normans would work well. I would go wood except that I want them to be mostly clear when I'm done. Cory Quote

Infidel. Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Thay also have clear super spooks if you are looking for topwaters. Quote
Cory20 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 stamina and barlows are looking like the same thing, I've heard some rumors about the ones from janns. Hopefully they're not all from the same place. Thanks gang Cory Quote
Cory20 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Just called my local BPS, no dice on the clear normans. I have spooks in flicker shad (green back, large silver flak glitter, clear sides and belly, red throat) and do well with them. Barlows it is. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 Hopefully they're not all from the same place. More than likely they are? They sell a plastic crank that is very similar to a Bandit 200 that works well. Stay away from the ones that you have to glue the two sides together they are a PITA. Allen Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 Yes and the 103623 is the Norman dd14. Check out these guys for some more cranks? http://www.luremaking.com/catalogue/catalogue-index/catalogue-items/crankbaits/glued-crankbaits/glued_diver_bodies_.htm The 3" fat shallow diver works well to and use to be sold at one of the major retailers in the US like Jann's. The 2.5" bluegill looks like it would work as well? Allen Quote
Cory20 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Thank you, can't wait to get going. Cory Quote
