lucky craft 1.5 spin

Post by Polkfish1 » Wed Jul 22, 2020 9:52 am

Why were these awesome cranks discontinued? Lost my last one to a gar today. Overcast skies today with a fairly good wind. Tied it on because I had a cranking stick with me. First cast, 2.5 lber. Second cast, dink. Fifth cast, gar and crank lost. Tied on a regular 1.5 in similar color, silence. Now, I only had time for a quick session and I could have accidentally hit on the right spot immediately. Also, a regular LC 1.5 is a fish catcher for sure. But, I had confidence in the spin version under some wind. I wish this one could come back. Found some one ebay for 25 a pop. Oh well, guess I have to poney up.

Unfortunately, I got nothing on that bait, but..I noticed they are releasing a 1.5 Moonsault, might want to check it out. Basically a Squarebill with lipless sound, should work great for you in the wind. Loved the original Moonsault cranks, so this should be a good one.

Thanks. I’ll give those a look. I went ahead and picked up a couple LC spins at current sellers market price. Hopefully they come back some day
