Does anyone know where you can get Mann's 30+ crankbaits? No lovin' at basspro or cabelas. Nothing much on google searching for it either. What's the scoop on this bait?

Thanks John for the address to the this website. I have been looking for some Manns 20+ cranks for some time now. I bought the last 2 off Bass Pro Shops awhile back and ever since I have been looking around. I love to throw these big cranks at Lopez!
I just ordered 6 today,
Thanks again.

Oh that sucks! I hate breaking sunglasses. I feel your pain having broken a pair of hobies and my expensive ray bans over the past few years. Remember when I lost the screw at clear lake and we found it in the glove box. That was so lucky. I hope that pair lasts forever.

Hopefully you hook up a deal with Mann's, that would be sweet. I am into their stuff.

I sent the glass's out yeaterday overnight they called about an hour ago and are sending a new pair overnight today,I'll have them tomarrow.

At 1st they wanted to charge me 52 bucks + freight tax and handling. I told then I was working with the marketing director on a sponsorship deal and it would be good business to stick a possible new pro staffer with a 52+ $ bill,they quickly decided to not charge me a single pennie.Cool huh!And the sponsor ship deal is a very long shot right now :)

Swimbait,

Mann's 30+ crankbait? Shoots son! Throw that bait on a 7' glass rod and do some kneeling and reeling and you might just tap into some fish that have never seen a crank that deep.

Be sure to eat your Wheaties that morning before you get out. That bait will make a man out of you!

I like it!

Paul

Swimbait,

That Peters must have done some sort of IP spoofing. Or is it a Trojan horse?

Anyway, I did a reverse lookup on the DNS information only to find the MX record on the outside NIC of the mailserver had to be translated and Pinged back to me.

So the bottom line is, I'll just stick to da fishin'.

Peters, Paul, and Mary

30+'s are killer cranks in the summer and winter. I have been using them for years on Don Pedro and McClure. In the winter I have trolled them to keep them in the strike zone longer and a buddy of mine that lives up at pedro has caught more big fish on them then any other bait. I actuly caught two fish at the same time one summer at McClure (those spots are agressive). I love the 10+ and 20+ as well

Your post reminded me of when I discovered the 20+ was the ticket for Striper and bass at the Aquaduct inlet to Silverwood L. when water was coming in. After I remembered that I decided I would throw the 1 I still had next time I went. Well I lost it last night at Anderson. Darn! It was my favorite color, when I bought it, it was clear with copper glitter, I don't know what did it, but eventually the inside got a chalky white coating while the outside stayed clear plastic. It was kind of strange looking, but schooly bass and stripers seemed to think it looked great. Any ways thanks for bringing back some old memories.

Tight lines,
Wade
PS Does anyone else have any lures that seemed to get better after they were "ruined"?
