Lucky Craft jerk bait knockoff
 

I can't pay $16 for one lure so this is my next option. Wanted to see what you guys thought. http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/crankba...s/341520.aspx#

Yup those guys will work (mostly). About 1 in 5 won't. They don't suspend perfectly level, but more level than anything else in that price range. Don't go with the larger size (they don't work as well).

I suggest these hooks in size 6: http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/daiichi...ks/861215.aspx Buying bulk is cheaper, if you need that many.

Don't forget to add split rings too.

The Rick Clun stix is pretty good too. The rapala x-rap works when they are real aggressive too. The best is still a husky jerk that has been dr/weighted correctly(and you learn a lot about how suspend jerks work along the way).
