What 16th oz Cranbaits are available as far as you guys know?
Bill Norman makes an 8th oz Crappie Crankbait which Blue Gills would probably like.I'll let you know if it works for me.I bought one in the bone color .

Thanks for starting the Crankbait page.Rebel wee 'R',Bomber 4f and small Rapala have all worked for me. My nephew and his father love the Cricket Hopper...but its used more as a topwater.

I've gotten several BlueGill on the Bomber 4f which is too big to catch numbers of Gills but insures White and Yellow Perch Crappies and Bass in the mix.

Thanks. I noticed that on this website, there was a lot of discussion about cranking for gills, but no groups.
Comment by Patrick "Bullworm" Olson on August 3, 2009 at 5:30am
Very good idea Trevor! I have caught lots of nice gills on crankbaits. I have even gone as far as making some of my own! This should be a good group and very interesting to boot! Look forward to contributing!
