    Manns crankbaits?

    These any good? Bought some today on a whim with never using them before. Looks like I got a variety of minus 1, loudmouth and 20+ model.

    Yes, good baits. The 1minus is money. The Baby 1 minus is great too.

    Great cranks but for me they are like pretty much all the other cranks--swap out the hooks!! The hooks on the ones I bought would make Strike King stock hooks look like top shelf hooks! Love their Jelly worms and Auger-tail worms--about the only worms I have used for years

    I've used the 15 plus since the late 80's, or I think that's when they came out. Great smaller deep diver. Also still have a few old 10 plus. Use the 20 plus and minus 1 series. All good.

    The old minus-1 were great, they redesigned the mold/lip few years back and I don't like it as much. Don't use many of their hardbaits but alot of their plastics, stone jig, jelly worms and sting ray grubs are staples of mine.

    I like the minus 1, but the minus 4 is my favorite. I have several minus 8 also.

    I agree. I used to wear them out on the baby 1-minus, but as I picked up new ones now and then I stopped catching as much on them. When I compared my older ones to the newer ones, I could definitely tell a difference in vibration and overall feel. I guess the fish can tell too. It's still one of my favorite shallow runners. I try to search for the older ones whenever I can.
