rustyman Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I made some shallow cranks that are 1 inch wide. They have a real good wobble. Whats the good and bad aspects of wide and skinny cranks. Skinny to me is the standard 1/2 to 3/4 in thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 To me, thin is 1/4 to 3/8" wide with flat sides. The wiggle is faster and sharper than a round bait, with less tail displacement. Some use them only when the water is cool in spring and fall but I like them year round, especially in and around shallow cover. The negative about them is the castability is usually not as good as medium or fat baits. But that's not a big issue when fishing cover and they seem to catch more fish for me, in more varied water conditions. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO Thanks bob, I should have specified that I was refering to muskie baits when I said "thin". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
