Crankbait addiction

[Bluebasser86]

Every crankbait I own fits into one deep Plano 3700 box. I hate fishing crankbaits but they work every once in a blue moon so I have to carry some.

@Bluebasser86 that really really surprises me.

Speaking of Crankbaits. Just ordered a couple today.

I'd be just fine never throwing another crankbait. Soft jerks baits tickle my fancy and I I've got so many colors, sizes, and brands, they all have a time and place to fish. I swear I can stop whenever I want to.

[LrgmouthShad]

I bought two boxes of crankbaits for a lake that abused me and called me names. I don’t even use any crankbaits right now, but I just feel like there are some lakes where you are really messing up if they are not somewhere in your rotation at some point in time. More Bassmaster classics are won with a crankbait style lure somewhere in rotation than any other lure type. Crankbaits are here to stay, forever

I have not fished the baits you have mentioned. BUT I have a long time addiction to crankbaits.

CB's definitely catch me more than I catch fish with them. Some of the paint jobs are absolutely sick.

I mean, would ya just look at it?!?!

 

Nevermind the custome painted ones you see on Ebay and FB

I bet I have 40-50 that have never been wet besides the times I cuddle and nibble on them.

Six of thirteen boxes.  I need some fortified Kool Aid.

That is terrible. You should be ashamed of yourself for hogging all those crankbaits. Feel free to ship a box or two to me to relieve your guilt. <G>

You definitely shouldn't look at all of the different styles and colors on the JDM sites then.

Yes, or you'll end up with Deps and OSP getting their own dedicated 3700 ?

Columbia craw- I’m in the same situation as you! Love the collection. I just can’t quit buying more?

Absolutely love the awesome crankbait bite that comes in the fall.

Real nice you probably have me beat. My collection of Bombers, Bandits and Rapalas are sizable. Vintage patterns that are long discontinued but I still fish them. They are not displayed. I’m pretty sure I’ve caught a smallie on every CB I bought for the river. CB fishing is a big part of my fishing. I’ll try to post some pics. Try to get spares not just because if you’ll loose them but availability on stuff dries up and you’ll never find them. On a lot of my favorites I’ll have spares, many with a hot tail (side, belly or back) I painted on if I need to draw their attention better on some days. Again nice bunch of CB’s.

Absolutely. Alex Rudd had me buy a whole box of Money Badgers.  Ben Milliken Wham fishing got me into 6th Sense Could 9s and Tactical Bassin got me to buy River2seas DD and Megabass Deep Six. Im not sure but someone here got me on to Azuma Timmy Horton Z Boss.

Strike King and Rapalas speak for themselves. I think if I had to chose one crankbait to fish with for the rest of my life it would be a Rapala DT 10 in Green Gizzard Shad, Smash, or Citrus Shad

i've got around 80 cranks and used them twice in two years ; but i keep buying them because they look cool. i think i have a problem.

I don’t know those guys you are talking about. I’m a bit old school with my crankbaits. But have ventured into some 6th Sense and SPRO over the last handful of years. I like fishing the Curve 55 and have gotten some nice fish on them. Have always been into my Rapalas, Bombers and Bandits. 
 

I have to agree with you 100% on the DT’s. I’d be torn between that or a Shad Rap. I throw the 6 & 10’s the most. And have bought my best producers on the 08. The Gizzard Shad’s, Blue back herring and original Bluegill are my go to’s.
