Exclusive, Hand Painted Baits

view collection

Clyde's Cranks Custom Painted Baits Collection is a line-up custom airbrushed baits that effectively mimic a real fish or frog. Painted by Bob Waldo (a.k.a. "Clyde") we've chosen almost two dozen various body styles, and married them with five distinct patterns. Some baits have added blood red accents and dressed trebles to make a selection of lures that are irresistible to a gamefish on the prowl. Lastly, we add US made, stainless steel split rings, Worth oval tie line rings, premium lure eyes from Jettson and Fish Skull, and KVD Triple Grip trebles to each bait we make to maintain our objective of offering some of the highest quality custom baits on the market today.

The original "Black Mamba" popper is Clyde's signature bait, and the product that inspired me to begin a business selling custom baits online. From its humble origins as a popper with a 2 3/4" gloss black body, blood red gill highlights, blood red hook, and a dressed treble of black squirrel tail and red feather, the Mamba has blossomed into a collection of five topwater bass fishing lures all true to the original products roots of gloss black and red. The Mamba Collection offers you a variety of sizes and topwater body types. There is now a family of Mambas that will cover many topwater largemouth bass fishing needs!
