Got home this evening and found these in the mail. These are the crankbaits that I won in Swalker9513's giveaway.
Being more of a crappie and catfish guy, I'm pretty excited to try a new style of fishing.
They look so nice, I'm almost afraid to use them. But I definitely will.
Can't wait to fry up some succulent baby bass.
Thanks again.

Very nice!

I won some custom slingshots in a giveaway. Custom made awesome little things. I shot them a few times to try them out...then I put them on a display shelf. Sorry, but in my opinion those are too nice to lose to a snag. Plenty of manufactured lures that will catch fish. If it were me, I�d keep them as a display of custom made lures. Cool stuff!

Funny...i just told my wife that I'll have to wait for the water to warm up and make sure that it's 5' deep or less because if I snag one, I'll be going in to retrieve it.

And if any of y'all have any tips for me as to how to best fish these, it will be much appreciated.
Swalker gave me a few tips, but I'm open to learning as much as I can.

Dang! Those are gorgeous!
Congratulations!

Beautiful baits!

Props on the win.

they are shallow runners. parallel some rip rap and bang em off of the rocks. if they aren't deflecting off of something then you are doing it wrong.

Cast them out with your Zebco 202 and then reel them in with the little handle thingy. When it gets back stop reeling right before the crank bait gets to the the end of the rod. Rinse and repeat.

Zebco 202? You think I'm rich or something?

Those look catchy....nice job, swalker.

I will attest to the catchablility of swalker's baits. They look fantastic and work really well. I can't wait to get on the water and use some of the ones that I have.

Beer $ - use those dudes and show off with some pics

Thanks everyone.
