I haven't seen a good handmade/custom crank thread in a long time.

Here are a few of my favorites.

I buy mine from Mark Houghton. All I have to do is tell him where I live and what species of baitfish I want replicated. He then does his homework on the species and builds lures to match the hatch for me. Or I can email him photos of what I want and make it easier on him.

My favorite colors of Gulp cranks

A few more...lets see some others
These 3 took the action of the Little Petey and made it a 100X better. Super fast tail kicking with the head appearing to stay still.

great colors on those cranks, socal...

Thank you. I love light brown - yellowish cranks. Looks like a bgill with that washed out color. Just work well locally.

Agreed. Hard for me to turn down those color combos

Question for those enthusiasts...

I got these two in on a trade, don't know anything about them....Anybody recognize who makes them? Appear to be balsa and circuit board lips.

Thanks

Here is an example of some very hard to locate old school favorites. Original Darting R square bills new still in the package.

Here is an example of an original Little Petey Deep Diver in the LCD color. I love this color.
