Its no different than having a weighed 2oz swimbait that can crawl along the bottom at 20'. Makes no sense why they dont want to offer weighted versions of crankbaits.

I thought there was one on the market ~15 years ago. Basstar, I believe. I think it had dimples like a golf ball. The California guy designed it, Randy Mcabee. I might have my crankbaits confused but I thought it was a weighted deep diving crankbait.

Those look awesome. Did they ever go into production? They look like a DD22 body.
