Anyone ever fish a black crank? I saw a bunch of baby black bullhead swimming around so I quickly painted this KVD 1.5 and caught three small bass before i snagged.

Those cranks look good. These remind me a baitmaker out of Indiana, he would hand carve and hand paint all them. He had one he called the redriver. It worked during winter and spring on the White River tricking smallmouth.

I've caught multiple fish over 5 pounds with that flat side in red craw. Good bait!!

Black & blue and brown & orange are my favorite skirt colors for jigs; white pearl for spinnerbaits.
If I cast more crankbaits, the colors shown would be my choice. Nice work!

What trailers do you use for jigs and spinnerbaits? Do the colors match skirt colors?

Black & blue and green pumpkin are some of the most popular jig colors but they are extremely overlooked in spinnerbaits. Black cranks are really good too, but I have yet to try this black and blue flatside posted above. I use various swimbaits and curly tail grubs as spinnerbait trailers and just let the fish tell me what they want. I do like to match the jig skirt color perfectly with custom plastics.
