Good point, I had forgotten about that. I'm still going to keep giving them a try though. Like many other baits that I don't have total confidence in, I'll start out using them, and if I don't get a hit within 30 minutes, I go back to what I do have confidence in (Senkos and jigs). I do plan on using crankbaits of every kind a lot more this year though, Lord knows I spent enough money on them so I may as well learn how to catch fish on them
