So posted in the tackle section but think I'll get more on here and because it pertains to my upcoming spring crappie attack on skito wb and hopefully ladue I think it is relivent to post her. So I'm looking for some old rebel crank-r crank baits specifically the glitter ones. This past season kind of just screwing around I threw one on while I was trolling and I could not keep the damn thing in the water crappie were smacking it left and right I tried various different lures that look similar even try different colors and every combination but for some reason that thing was the only thing that would produce I would get some on the other ones but not like that Rebel as I was sorting through my tackle I realized that the Old Faithful had a crack in it I am going to try to hopefully seal it but I really would like to get some more of these lures if anybody has any they want to get rid of let me know cuz I would really love to get some more

Devil's Advocate here, just don't spend too much-or buy too many. A guy I'm acquainted with recently went to Mogadore and absolutely "murdered" jumbo perch on a Johnson Thinfisher blade bait(not something you'd expect to catch perch on "normally"!) tipped with chunks of minnow. Not once but two days in a row on/in the same general area. Has not been able to duplicate that feat since! Crazy things happen while fishng that can't really be explained? Just saying....

Well the thing I found os it's dive depth was perfect for the areas I troll anything to deep snags constantly anything higher gets nothing. I've been doing this for years but just not this lure. I'm looking for variation to not just the exact same thing. I know how it goes things work one year and suck the next
