cheap crankbaits

[bmadd]

Bandits, Normans, Rapalas, and Bomber Fat Free baits are pretty much all of the crankbaits I use. A lot of nice color, true-running, nice action baits under 7$ each!

I can't believe some of you are bashing berkley frenzy. I use thier ratl trap and they are awesome. Never had a lipped crank from them. Also they are coming out with some really nice looking swim baits.

I love manns minus 1 have caught tons of fish. I own some frenzy bc I take beginners out alot and dont want them losing my Lc or bagelys so I let them use the frenzy's and guess what they actually catch alot of fish.

to echo many posts above, Norman, Bandit, Luhr Jensen all quality baits.

norman and bandits run great out of the box, and they both have a great varierty of depths and colors.

I truly believe that the fish can't tell the difference b/w them and a high dollar bait in most cases.

Original rattle traps are great too, as long as you replace the hooks.

imo opinion if your on a budget and looking for a good crankbait I say rapala all the way i find myself grabing my rapalas over my lucky crafts !

Bandits are by far my most consistant producing crankbaits.  If I could only have one bait to through in 6-8' or less it would be a 200 bandit chart/ blue back.  I have caught fish everywhere I have been on that one bait and at the price you pay for them it is well worth it! I have caught more fish on that bait than any of my other baits; LC's and WEC's included.  Rapala's are a very good bait but I almost consider them on the low end of the higher priced baits.  DT6's are trying hard to replace the bandit 200 though.
