my dad has broken one off on a crankbait before only to catch his crankbait 3 casts later, with BOTH treble hooks on opposite sides of a bass' mouth.

how that bass even hit the other crank is beyond me.

Here is a picture of the Norman DD22 lure.

Here's one for you, Mike. May of 2008, I was strolling a similar Lucky Craft D20 in Splatterback white. Was on the fish pretty good and stuck what felt to be a good one but she ran me into a tree, wrapped me up and broke me off.

Two days later Lance Vick, a friend and me are fishing the same spot when my buddy hangs what he thinks is a good fish. Fights her close to the boat when we notice the bait he's throwing is not in the fishes mouth, mine from two days ago is! My friend had hung the line and pulled the fish loose from the tree where, apparently, she had been hung up and swimming around on about 50 feet of 10# InvisX for two days!

Still hard for me to believe. Oh, she was about 8 pounds.

my best was a smithwick rogue, two football jigs, 5 assorted cranks, numerous hooks and crigs, on a gill net in clear lake in ca.

I was throwing a deep diver on Choke this spring when I hung it up in some submerged brush. I worked at getting it loose, but finally ended up breaking off. I retied and started working my way down the bank. About 30 minutes later I spot a crankbait floating in open water. Yep, it was mine. I was probably 250 - 300 yards away from where I had lost it.

was crappie fishing at Fork under 515 bridge, had a bite, set the hook and didnt brink up a fish, but another crappie reel and pole...still have the pole to this day.

Was at Amistad a few years back and on the bank we saw a small tacklebox went up there looked in it and it was full of some pretty old swimbaits

I once was casting an inline spinner at once of the trout-release sites and on one retrieve my spinner came back with two other inline spinners attached to it--I cast out one and reeled in three.

AT CHOKE THIS PAST MARCH, CATCHING GOOD FISH ON DD22 ON A SLOPPING ROCKY BANK, HUNG UP AND BROKE OFF. IT WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAD OF THAT COLOR AND TRIED OTHERS FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR WITH OUT ANY LUCK. CAME BACK TO SAME LEDGE AND WAS THROWING LIZARD TX RIG AND HUNG AN OLD TROTLINE. PULLED IT UP AND GOT MY DD22 BACK PLUS ONE THE EXACT SAME COLOR EXCEPT IT WAS A RAPALA DEEP DIVER. SOME ONE HAD ALREADY CHANGE THE HOOKS FOR ME ALSO, THANKS. RETURNED TO CATCHING FISH AGAIN.

How come you guys don't carry along a lure retriever? I have not lost any crankbaits since I started using one. The one I use cost me about $5 and I have saved probably $100.

Man I need some chest waders in here, its getting awful deep

Why are you yelling?

Sorry, just a little hard hearing.

my friend lost a dd22 in a brushpile we fish frequently.. week later.. i caught it.. lol that was a lucky craft crankbait too.. i made him pay me 5 bucks..

a DD22 is not a Lucky Craft. are you talking two different baits?
