ANYONE USE THOSE STORM BIG BASS CRANKS

[Guest muddy]

Hey fellas: I am looking at the crawfish patterns and they seem cool. Anyone use these yet, how have they worked for you?

almost picked one up my self, while wading in the river you see tons of those critters running for cover.

I bought one of the shallow ones.....really tight action - sometimes fish like that kind of thing, but not much buoyancy for a bait that appears to have been designed for cover fishing.   Maybe something's wrong with mine, but it almost suspends.

I don't know if i have what you're talking about Muddy, but i bought 7 Storm cranks a few years back (2$ bin). They are thin, had great looking paint, some were about 3/8 oz both shallow & deep, and a few that look like about 7/8 oz deep divers.(maybe 14') I never caught anything on these although i didn't give em a fair chance. Stupid baitmonkey! I will never learn... :-/

That sounds like a Storm Lightnin' Shad.......does it look like this?

I really like the 1/2 oz. version of this bait (the one pictured).   They're good into the low teens or so.....deep flatsided cranks aren't something fish see very much of, and FWIW, I caught my biggest bass all last year on that bait.

I also have the smaller versions, both shallow and diving, square billed versions, and the 1 oz. monster that can bust 20', but I've had only limited success with the others in the lineup.....my favorite is definitely the 1/2 oz. deep diver.  The 1 oz. bait is such a cool crank though.....it's one of the only flatsidish baits I know of that can run that deep - but the thing is just so HUGE.            

BTW....these baits liven up considerably if you'll drop a hook size and put some nice light wire trebles (like a VMC) on there.   The hunks of steel they come with stock kind of deaden the action.   The rear hook makes the most difference, if you just want to change one.

THis is what I am asking about fellas:
