Bagley Balsa B Crankbait - $8.49

Balsa wood baits have long been known for their lively, natural action in the water and their extreme buoyancy. Other woods and plastic materials have since come on the scene, but many pro's still turn to them and keep old proven ones around for year because of their innate fish catching ability. Bagley has been making some of the best balsa wood baits for over 50 years, and Bagley baits have probably more wins in big tournaments that almost any other crankbait made - including four Bassmaster Classics.

The Bagley Balsa B Crankbait is the original square-bill balsa crankbait. Featuring the perfect combination of lively balsa wood, a square bill, and short, fat body, these baits and their special thumping wobble have been catching fish all over the US for years. Featuring premium components as well, and available in a variety of colors, the Bagley Balsa B Crankbaits are the crankbaits to turn to when you are fishing shallow water, especially when targeting bass in submerged trees and stumps.

Comments: What a let down. Never the same after they closed up. Didn't even survive an hour on lake fork last weekend.  Had full length cracks down each side of the bill on TWO lures...I'll be in the market for better square-bills for sure.

Comments: I dont care about line ties and all that crap even though the new ones are better and dont bend like the old ones. These baits are flat out the best crankbait ever.Use the red crawfish one on river smallies and they will let ya no. So happy bagleys back now they just need to add to the line up bring the fat cat back.I wish i could go back to a smalltown department store in the early 80s and pick up the whole line.Id give my left testicle for some of there old balsa musky plugs.

Comments: all of you complaining about not having brass line ties must not know much about metal. brass is way too soft and bends so easily it should never be used for a line tie or a hook hanger.

Comments: Wish they had chartreuse black/back like they used to. And firetiger. These new ones do have some great action however.

Comments: I see these comments about the brass line ties but I have to admit that I am happy that the line ties are no longer brass.  Brass is a very soft metal and as a result, my old Bagley cranks required constant tuning.  I am well aware that tuning is required at some point with all cranks but the less time I spend doing it the better.  I may have just gotten lucky but I have noticed that these new ones stay in tune much longer.  If it performs better, who cares what it is made of?

Comments: I have to admit I was disappointed that they don't have brass hardware like the originals. But I was pretty impressed with it's action. It's got a nice tight wiggle, very similar action to a Rapala DT. Bagley said the brass doesn't make a difference... But seeing as how original balsa B's are going for over $400 on eBay... I tend to think bagely would sell a lot more of these new versions if they were built to original spec with brass hangers & line tie.

Comments: bagley went on & on about how these would be identical to the original, including brass line ties. All photos on their website show brass ties-  NONE of the new baits  have brass ties. Very disappointing. Mine just arrived... I don't even want to fish it. 

Comments: this bait is the best square bill crankbait period!!!!!! the wood balsa makes all the difference there is just something about wood. i have used all and i mean all from kvd to luckycraft and jackall. this bait outperforms all of them and then some for the price it is a steel all of the japanese wood baits from mega bass and some other japanese companys are very exceptional but they are three times the price of the bagley so in my book its money in the bank buy one !!!!!!! the very best
