Super User scaleface Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 I use to have a dozen of them and they have slowly disappeared . This one worked well and I hung her in a brush pile. Tried the hound Dog lure retriever and the line snapped . Time to make a hundred mile trip to a flea market and try to score some . Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 I have a yellow perch Deep Wee R, one of my favorite medium/deep cranks. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 10, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 10, 2015 I have a yellow perch Deep Wee R, one of my favorite medium/deep cranks. A crawfish Deep Wee R was the first long lipped crankbait I ever bought . Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 10, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 10, 2015 There are quite a few on Flea Bay listed. I've never done ebay . Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 I have a yellow perch Deep Wee R, one of my favorite medium/deep cranks. my grandpa passed away back in november and a couple months back my grandma gave me all his old fishing stuff (vintage fly rod, reel, lures, etc.) one of the lures in the tackle box was what looked to be a pretty old deep wee R same yellow perch color i imagine. the rings and hooks were rusted so i replaced them and was determined to catch a fish on it, but also scared to death to lose it. well first trip out with it i caught a 1.5lb spot with it and have since decided to retire it. I just thought it would be cool to catch a fish on the same bait my grandpa probably caught one on many years ago..... 1 Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 That was my first crankbait and my second bass bait ever. Silver with blue back. I loved it because you didn't need to "set the hook" on it. It took me a long time to develop that feel with the worm. 1 Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 Two other cranks I really miss are the bomber fat A, especially the 2.25", 5/8 ounce model that dives 10 - 12 feet, and the rattlin' fat rap. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted July 11, 2015 Super User Posted July 11, 2015 I still have an old one of those in the craw pattern! A great lure, and one of my favorites from childhood. I haven't used it in years, but back in the day, it was good for bass and the occasional river walleye, and on at least one occasion, a particularly ambitious perch. I also recall it survived a close call with a pike, my brother and I having just barely gotten the little monster onto the dock before it cut the line. Out of curiosity, I just checked ebay listings -- yeah, there really are quite a few available. Quote
