fishing user avatarJKarbo214 reply : 

I have heard a lot of people having success in early spring with flat sided crankbaits.  What is your favorite flat sided crankbait on the market?   Thanks so much for your suggestions!

Now that you can find them here in the USA, the Storm Thin Fin  and one you will find hard to believe is Cabela's flat sided PorkChop.

I thought those have been in the US for a bit? Brad's thin fish?

Mother of pearl. Just when I thought there were no more techniques to buy. 

What is this flat sided crank bait you speak of and what does it do that makes it special? It kind of looks like a lipless with a square bill.

I dont fish many but the Bomber Flat A  in chartreuse is my favorite crankbait for the mississippi river .

Flat broke by norman .I think is worth mentioning.


fishing user avatarNathan Burton reply : 

Ima pinjack, spro little John, and 6th sense crush flat 75 are my top 3! 


fishing user avatarwhitwolf reply : 

Big M flat side. It's a fish catcher!


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

I've got several I like to fish but the Zoom Z-Flat is my favorite for cold water.


fishing user avatarcgolf reply : 

Another vote for the Bandit flat maxx, it was great for me last year when I saw sub 40 degree air temps in July. 


fishing user avatarthebillsman reply : 

Love the Little John. Great bill, great hooks, great colors and that slow float is killer.


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

well...................lipless cranks are "flat sided" and that's about the only thing I use with a "flat side"...........so my vote goes for the SK Red Eye Shad ..............lol.


fishing user avatarIndianaFinesse reply : 

Bomber flat A is hands down the best..


fishing user avatarKP Duty reply :

Thank you for this. I can now sleep comfortably. I can't even count the number of fish I have caught on the 1.5F in the last year. Fall and Spring so far. I only use 2 colors, the red craw and the chartreuse black back. They are legendary baits. 


fishing user avatarJaw1 reply : 

Another vote for the bandit flat max (LA shad color) and although I had little johns and the sk 1.5f I have caught more fish with the academy brand flat cranks


fishing user avatarscaleface reply : 

A   tackle shop I know of has a whole bunch of Lee sesson Flat sided balsa cranks at the old prices  . They are four or five bucks a piece . I,ll be driving by there later today. Think i'll stop and pick up a couple .


fishing user avatarJaderose reply : 

SOB's.......now I got something else to buy.  I got a new Cranking Rod this year and thought I was good to go with cranks.  Guess I was wrong.  *sigh*

If they are the Yakima Lee Sisson baits, don't buy them.  They are junk.

They dont say Yakima . Thet read made in the USA Lee Sesson Hardwood . they are made out of Jelutong .I picked up 5 plus an old Luck E strike and Hawg Hustler spinnerbait . I have a weakness for discontinued lures . All made in the USA .

Yeah, that's a color that doesn't match anything perfectly, but mimics a lot of things.
