BassinHomer Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hey all, heres some pics of cranks I've been working on for the past couple of weeks.The Top two are refurbs I did for a guy who's bought a few cranks off of me and the rest are all my custom cranks, enjoy! Sorry about the size tried to resize them but I guess it didn't take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountainman Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 This top ones look sweet!! I found a tackle box recently at a garage sell that had over 30 really really old lures in it. Ive been workin on cleaning them up and had the intention of having them refinished and throwing them, but after I got to cleaning them and saw what all they were I decided maybe Id just clean them up and put 'em in a shadowbox or sumthin....LOL. Good looking paint jobs tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softbaitmaker Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Gosh!!! I would be afraid to count or try and remember al the bass I caught on HellBenders and Mud Bugs back years. I know it would be in the 1000's. They were two of the best deep water cranks around for many years..........Nice job on the BW..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 same here softy...those Hellbender's and Mudbug's were killer back ing the late 60's and 70's...we use to load the boat with walleye, Sauger and LM Bass on those cranks..and the Mudbug was as its name states...if you kept it digging in the bottom it would prodeuce some nice fish...miss those days...it was fun.

I swear I believe that if a man refinished some of those old plugs that the fish aint seen in a coon's age he would catch some fish on 'em. Ive been trying to catch some yard/garage sales here lately to find some, but have struck out so far. I have, as I said, found some classics that i wouldnt want to use.

I have, as I said, found some classics that i wouldnt want to use. i was thinking along the same line...i refinished some for a guy once..(Crankster) in fact it was a Bomber Hellbender..usually called a Waterdog....was ask to keep the lure a secret... don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
