Matt Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Been trying to find the blanks or a close match to Rapala's DT series and Bandit's Fat Maxx. Any suggestions on where to look. Not too concerned if they are wood or plastic. If I can find the blanks they will be my fist attempt at making a crank bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddoxBay Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think you?re out of luck trying to find a blank for those baits. Why don?t you try carving the bodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have thought about that, but don't know where to begin. Making a crank bait will be a first for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop10 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Jann's Netcraft has a plastic body that is either close to or is a Norman DD22. Lurehardware.com has round wood bodies that are close to Poes and flats that are close to Tennessee Tuffies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_CARVER Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 maybe these will work? http://www.staminainc.com/bodies_crankminnow/super_deep_diver5.html Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks for the replies and tips everyone. I have checked out stamina in the past but nothing really caught my attention. I did get the 2006 magazine in yesterday, I need to take a look at it and see if they have anything new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
