Here's a question for the serious guys. How many crank baits do you keep/have in your tackle boxes?. I thought I was a collector because I've got 51 but there must be Bass addicts out there with much more.

I started my collection in the 80's and stopped years ago. If I had continued, geez I don't know. I'm still sore about my jointed Chartreuse Rapala that was left hanging in a Willow tree on the Vaal. Just checked and found another box full of Spooks, Lazy Ikes, Arbogasters, Hula poppers and Jitterbugs. I guess I have a hundred give or take a few. Where were we going to use all these lures?. Some of them are still new and never been wet. That old saying about Bass baits catching more fishermen than fish must be true. Lol.

Boet, if things go right you just might get that chance. With your New Bass boat coming and all. You should give it a lekker name like Super 14, UmeandDupreez, Loftus Lunker or my personal favourite "Bakkies". With that name the fish will be jumping on the boat.

243 If I have luck with one bait I would make sure I buy multiple. The biggest problem with these lures is continuity! You find one that work for you go back to get another and the lure is discontinued your more consistent manufacturers is Bill Norman, Rapala (only to an extend) and Bomber.

I have two Jimmy Houston rattle traps they probably account for 50% of my fish catches, I GAURD THEM WITH MY LIVE. I have taken a dive for them, got special lure retrievers for them and replaced the hooks about 7 times already because of getting stuck. I have search everywhere for these lures cannot find them anymore, I even contacted Jimmy Houston himself and he could not help me. So my advice if you find something that works for you make sure you got more than one VERY QUICKLY!
