Muddy prawn, ghost gill brown, mat AYU and ghost green shad. the new colours look good too

Tims prawns and micks madness.

I like deep diving cranks but the new deep atomics really need a weight in them because the bigger bib catches the wind and doesnt cast that well compaired to other hb's you would use for the same purpose. I tried them out last weekend.

Cheers
Chris

I've plastered half a packet of suspend dots to the bottom of mine. I tried using them as they are, but I find that they're just too bouyant. I like to pause my lures every now and then, but with Atomic Cranks, they just shoot straight up to the surface during even the tiniest pause. Mine are now all suspenders and as a by product, they cast a fair bit better now too.

I reckon they really need a nice big ball bearing slopping around inside the main chamber to increase the weight substancially.

100% agree

I may try one myself, drill a little hole put a few bb's in and a little epoxy to seal back up. I probably wont use them as they are.

Ditto but i just use tungsten putty on mine, needs a fair bit but easy to remove and replace if need be.

Ghost green and muddy prawn work really well. But as far as buoyancy goes it is true what others have mentioned. I tend to just do a continual slow roll most of the time.
