Contest Lure Review: Sebile Crankster

[BossierBassHunter]

Ok, I recently won the giveaway contest for the Sebile Crankster.

I decided that since Russ (bass dozer) was kind enough to give me a $15 crankbait I could at least write a review for the lure.

Ok, He shipped the lure on Monday and I got it promtly on Friday, which I consider good shipping, so if that is how all of his stuff ships, I think that's great.

First Impressions: Here is a pic of the lure.

The color was Blue Althea. It is an exceptional looking color, and the detail is top notch. The bait did have a VERY SMALL scratch from the hooks being against the body in the package. However, this was so small I almost didn't see it. The bait's hardware is also high quality. The hooks are super sturdy, and REALLY sharp. The bill is another thing that is really well made. Very strong, I don't see this thing breaking anytime soon. All in all, out of the box it is everything someone should expect from a $15 crankbait.

Fishing: The bait itself is a pretty nice size, it's not very long, but its fat body makes it seem bigger. It has a weight inside it has rattles around and makes casting it very easy, you can make this thing fly. Once it hits the water, you can crank it down to operating depth fairly quickly. The one thing I really like about this biat is how it floats back up very slowly, almost like it suspends, which is great because you can crank it next to a stump and then it sits in that spot for a long time.

The bad: This is a wide-body crankbait, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to have the wobble of comparible size cranks in my box. However, even only fishing it for about 10 minutes I was able to get one fish, and had a couple or three hits that I missed. So, fish do want to eat this bait.

So....

Looks/Appearance: 10/10 - awesome looking bait

Performance: 8.5/10 - probably didnt fish it long enough, but wish it     wobbled more

Here's the one that fell for it:

If I can find any of these locally, I'm going to pick up a few.  Nothing like trying them for oneself.

I would def. get one. The time of day I was using them probably wasn't the best, I switched to worms and starting cleaning up, so I think any crank wouldn't have worked that well. I am going to fish this everytime I go fishing for sure.
