Guest avid Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I love crankbaits. soft plastic will usually outfish em, but i don't care. they are way more fun to fish. except for those ratltrap days, i definitly do better with wide wobble baits, like wigglewarts and mag warts. what other wide wobble cranks do y'all like. and what are your favorite patterns?

Super User 5bass Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Wiggle Wart (Originals are the best) DD22 (my favorite crank, PERIOD) Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Very shallow: Bomber Square A, Norman Fat Boy and Mann's -1 A little deeper: Bagley BII Midrange: Lazy Ike Deep: DD22 I have the Rick Clunn 2.5 & 3.5, but have not fished them yet. Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 supershallow: Bandit footloose shallow: Strike King 4S, LC B.D.S. 2 & 3, Bandit 100 series medium: Strike King Series 3 and Bandit 200 deep: Norman DD22, Strike King Series 5 & 6, and Bandit 300 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Storm Wiggle Wart Storm Sub Wart Cotton Cordell Big O Quote
Stringjam Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Catching Concepts KC2's, the widest wobbling crankbaits I've ever used - - these things dance like a fat lady chasing a Twinkie. Lee Sisson Slim Willies (diving and shallow) = one of the best and most ignored wide wobbling crankbaits out there. As far as other favorites: Almost any bait from Bagley with an angled lip, indluding those little Honey Bees....those can be some fish catching little dudes. Wiggle Wart Arbogast Mud Bugs and Original Bombers Ever Green Combat Flat Poe's 200 (way under-appreciated) Jackall Geronimo Magnum As far as deep cranks: Lucky Craft Flat CB D12 (I WISH they would bring this design up to a 15'-16' diver) Competition Cedars / Poe's 400 and 400 Plus Jackall Muscle Deep 15+ (probably about the widest) Competition Cedars 4500 LR (for up to 20+)......definitely wider than a DD22, casts farther, and dives about 4-5' deeper.

Super User Raul Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Besides all the already mentioned ones: Storm Thundercrank, StrikePro DD Shad, StrikePro Oscar ( an oversized version of the Megabass Griffon ), Rapala Fat Rap. Quote
dumb_dog11 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 ETI Orion Crankbait designed by Rick Clunn, sold exclusively by bass pro shops a great pick, its what i use to catch bass all day, i need to branch out a little Quote

Yeah man, that's what I'm talking about. Beautiful, exquisite, divine. Oh man, I gotta get me some of those link please, could not google them. Where to buy??? and tell me absolutely everything you know about fishing them. don't worry, I got time. seriously, thanks for the great reply, Quote
Triton21 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Avid, try hhtp://storesebay.com/Catching-Concepts. Kelley Quote
Stringjam Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Avid, The Ebay store is the only place online that you can buy them, but you probably won't see this model there - - - don't hesitate to email the owner (Herman Oswald). Here's a great guy to deal with and you can just tell him what you want and he'll work it in. His finish work is always beautiful. These are cedar baits if I remember correctly, and dive about 5' - with so much kick and roll they're almost unstable! I love em' for when I really want to get noticed...they come through heavy cover and deflect extremely well. Very unique, and something bass don't see a lot of (flatsided plugs especially). There's a member on this board (BIG M) who told me he would make any body style and any wobble I wanted - - and his work looks absolutely beautiful as well......I'm definitely going to pull the trigger on some of his baits pretty soon and try them out.

ben23 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 yeah, those Catching Concepts cranks are pretty awesome. For some reason the Smallmouth CRUSH the KC2 in his splatterback color. My favortie wide wobbler is the KC1, basicaly the same thing, just smaller body style. Another one to check out for wide wobbling from catching concepts is his SB2; it is a rounder body made of balsa instead of cedar- great for cranking laydowns and shallow brushpiles. Ben Quote

BassHunter69 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 how about the norman lures fatboy for 0 to 4 feet then the dd22 excaliber xw6 wakebait is pretty nice also Quote
Super User FishTank Posted August 15, 2007 Super User Posted August 15, 2007 I like the Lucky Craft Fat BDS 3's. Quote
bubbler Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 storm wiggle wort in red craw. man these things murdeer the bass when u fish them on rocks......kinda a comic relief when u watch them come throught the water Quote
The_Natural Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Hard to beat a BDS 1 or 2 or Bagley B2 around shallow wood when the heat is on. I think the BDS 3 and 4 are different acting, slender baits that I wouldn't really consider a wobbler. The RC series are awesome baits as well...they have been a factor in many tournament wins over the past two years, but maybe have what I call a 'searching' wiggle rather than a true fat wobbler. The WEC Wobbler that Ed Chambers makes is one I tie on when I really need to get bit, but it rolls maybe a little more than it thumps, but is just superb (got any for sale ). The Brians B's are stellar...worth the money versus the H&D's that I think are overrated. I honestly use quite a few... Quote
