What's everyone's favorite mid range crank? Currently I'm partial to the Spro Little John MD. Looking for something that can reach closer to that 10-12 foot range. IMO the little john hits about 7-8 feet on 10lb fluoro for me.

Lucky Craft SKT DR. Deflects great, and has a tight action that works well any time of year. Close second would be the 1.5DD for those depths.

I just picked up some 3XD, Duo Realis M65 11A and Little John Baby DD to try. Have the Little John DD but that's listed as a 20 foot diver. Haven't gotten to fish with it enough yet.

I have the RK Crawler but never did too well with it. Also plan on picking up some of the Megabass Deep X 300. They dive deeper than I listed here but I like casting up shallow and grinding them back out sometimes.

Getting off topic here but is there any reason to go with Deep X 300 vs Deep Six other than dive depth?

Duo Realis M65 8A and 11A, particularly in Mello Blaze color, chartreuse with orange belly.... :!: Very good hooks too. Slayed big walleyes, Lmb, and Smb at all times of day. I can't wait til it warms up

I'm old school when it comes to mid depth cranks. I do well with a Bomber 7A, and the Fat Free Shad in the #5 and #6 sizes. I also like the Rapala DT-10 and the Bagley Diving B2. I know these aren't flashy lures but they flat out catch fish and it amazes me why more don't use some of the old school baits more often.

What water clarity are you fishing the mello blaze in? Looks like a dirty water color, but you never know with the smallmouth.

The water clarity in my home lake is quite rocky and actually clear.

Zoom Tapp. It may shine in prespawn, but it really is killer all the time.
