the Berkely Frenzy 4" diving Minnow (silver shiner & firetiger colors) and the Bomber Fat Free Shad 5/8 oz (firetiger color) are the best cranks for SW bass.... as well as Corvina, WSB, Bonita, Barrys, and Halibut.
i have caught hundreds of these various fish on these 2 cranks in the Bays over the past 4 years.
as far as SW BASS... cranks & spinnerbaits can both work great for Spots & Calicos at times.
but i have never caught a Sandie on a spinner bait. and only caught a few Sandies on a crank. Sandies seem to strongly prefer plastic, gulp, or live bait.
