michael merrill Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Just wondering if anyone has developed a weedless type crank for use in leafy vegetation?My thoughts were kinda going in the direction of a single worm hook protruding from the rear of the lure rather than two trebles.What do you guys think about that notion or a similar one?

Cranky Fish Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Great looking bait! I was curious also and would like to know how this lure runs. Does a significant retrieve speed cause any roll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael merrill Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Terry, That is a great looking lure! Do you have any problems with the fish throwing it more easily than a treble,and also do you need to "set" the hook like on a weedless frog?Thank you for the response, I have always wondered if it was possible,and if it had been done.Since you have done it and I have always wanted some...would you paint any custom colors if I were to order a half dozen of that color?Thanx again.

Terrydabassman Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks guys for the kind words. I was brain storming one day and this is what I came up with. Its primarily a jerk/glide bait, I make 2 models, one floating and the other sinking. YES, you'll want to lay into em with a good hook set. Yes I can paint ya anything you want. Please email me and we can talk, ok? custompaintedlures@tclarkcustomlures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 These have been around for a pretty good while. They were featured in the December Issue of Tackle Retailer. They have been around privatley for several years and they began marketing them in 2006. They have a lipped crankbait as well called a "hot back" Here is the link. http://www.meatandpotatoes.net/HotBackFTR.htm Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
