crankie Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I am wondering if anybody knows where a guy can get the small crankbaits. I'm talking the the inch and a half sizes. I now live in the Black Hills area of South Dakota, and the better half wants to try these smaller baits for trout. I have followed the various makers/airbrushers and greatly appreciate allof your tips and years of experience. Have had various crankbaits out to some pros on the walleye circuit but am now looking to down size if possible for the wife. She really likes the Rapala F3's or anything smaller. Any help locating any small sizes would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I know Rebel used to make some smaller cranks such as the Wee R and the Deep Wee R. Don't remember the exact size though. You might also look at places like Bass Pro Shops or some of the online tackle shops. I know Bass Pro Shops used to carry crankbaits that were designed for crappie and they were fairly small baits. hope this helps, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
