Matzou Nano Crank vs Strike King Bitsy Minnow

[Craig Thoreson]

Does anyone have both of these, fish ably and comparably how are they? I've got a few nano cranks on order from Matzou. Wish I could find some of the Normans cranks and that Yozuri still made the Snap Beans.

Craig;; I have several of the bitsy minnow cranks; but none of the Matzoh ones..  I took the bacck treble hook off and replaced it with a single hook; ( a lot easier to take fish off that way !! )   the bitsy minnow;; is a great fish getter !  solid white is the best color so far in my area;; but I also have ; 4 others in different colors ; just in case; LOL..  bass; blue gill  love the little bitsy minnow !!

Thanks, I got the white ones from Matzou I just didn't want to order the Bitsy Minnows if they were the same, though the Bitsy minnows have a couple cool colors that Matzou doesn't

Craig;; I get  bitsy minnows from my local wal mart !!

Yeah I went and looked at them, only had a few color options. Once I get the Matzous in the mail tomorrow I may go check out the Bitsy Minnows again to see how they compare.

still have a few snap beans.they are hard to come by these days.some on ebay but they go for 20 bucks for a 2 pack with both sizes.the black and gold were the only ones i caught fish on and have not seen any in a while.

[Craig Thoreson]

I used to have some and never used them, hoping they ended up with my brother when I gave him a bunch of gear.

[Craig Thoreson]

Got my Matzou I really like these little guys I might have to grab them in a few more colors.

[Craig Thoreson]

I'm really liking the size of these little Matzuo Nano Cranks in the NC02 size. Enough I just ordered 3 more colors of them to add to the Arsenal. Wish I could post pictures better the forum and my iPad aren't cooperating. Might have to find someone that can airbrush them for me so make them in the colors I want. Anyone know anyone?

[Craig Thoreson]

Going to pick up some Bitsy minnows though I'm contemplating either some Rapala Ultralight Cranks or the Rapala Countdown. The ULC come in 03 size only though the ULC comes in 01 which I'm considering for the smaller size. Thoughts fellas in the end I'll probably end up with some of each but I'm really liking these tiny baits.

If you can find them, and that's a big "IF", some size 4 Rapala X-Raps are Bluegill-sized, and work great in the cool/cold water conditions we have right now.  They dive and suspend, so you can just twitch it along a couple feet underwater.

Thanks
