Spotie crankbait?

[Siebler]

Way back when the only answer you would have heard was Berkly Frenzy Minnow but those are long gone and everybody has discovered other baits that work great- although i am not sure any will ever be Frenzy good.

I fish a lot of baits that are 8-14' divers and 3-4" in length (for fishing Mission Bay and comparable water). Colors in any shad pattern, fire tiger, citrus shad, etc will work. Some of the more popular baits include the Fat Free shad and Luckycraft Pointer. Sometimes the fish like the more round baits and sometimes they like the longer profile baits. The majority of the bait spotties see are a longer profile so I generally like those but have picked up some of the biggest spotties on fat free shad and similar baits.

Below are pics of the Original Frenzy and then the reincarnation of the same bait a few years later. Most folks say that the remake wasnt as good as the original but both kicked ass for spotties. If you can find these buy them, otherwise look for similar baits and youll have a great place to start. The originals were around until probably 2004 and the remake was around until im guessing 2008-2010 or so. Still possible to find them on Ebay. There is also a shallower diver of the same old style. These were phenomenal for Corvina. There was just something about the profile and action of this bait that matched our bays amazingly well.
