Why Buy a CPC Crankbait ? : Please understand ... there
are no magical lures ...they are all just tools ...but some are better constructed tools than others. I love to
throw a shallow crankbait around visible cover, but most crankbaits either fail to vibrate enough to generate strikes in off-colored
water ...or worse and more importantly ...they can't make their way through heavy cover without getting hung up.
The first thing I noticed about CPC Cranks is that they vibrate like mad ...and best of all they make their way through wood
habitat without constantly getting snagged. Add to that all the custom colors ...and bingo ....I'm armed with a functional
'tool' on my line and a bucket full of confidence in my heart and head. Yep, premium quality costs money ...and
these lures are well worth it.
Thanks --
Alan
