Got some crank weights yesterday.  Can't wait to try them. They make it possible to use crankbaits and stickbaits under the ice. I can't wait to see how they work and change the way I walleye fish. I can use hardbaits now and not just a vib-e or jigging rap. Also can use a small stickbait for crappie. Just curious to know how it's going to work and what kind of action the lures will have under the ice.

Yes. They attach to the belly hook of the lure.

Would be hard pressed to get away from my jigging rapala's and buckshots.
Found some nice lures at Cabela's that can't wait to try.

They do, but it would take a ton of them to do it.
