I've broken 3 so far. If you splash it in the water to get grass off, no good. I've broken 2 off hitting rocks on the bank. I've broken 1 hitting big rocks under water on Lake Lawtonka. 😢
I broke the bill off 3 different Berkeley crankbait models in the same day. Slapping the water and cranking in rocks . The bill breaks or just comes off completely
Yes sir, bill's break easy. I got 3 hanging from my fishing bench in my basement. I broke 1 by hitting a log trying cast by log close I could. Hit it head on, and broke in half.
not sure yet there are a lot of custom painters/ lure makers out there so I would have to do some research and keep the price around what i see. honestly probably go a little lower to be as fair as possible.
I break them all the time! I love them because they catch fish but the bills are cheap! By far, the least durable crank on the market! I would love to see you do a video on adding the foil to them vs buying them.
man thats such a bummer it appears the feedback is all the same: great crankbait horrible durability. absolutely! great feedback. stay tuned ill definitely make a video foiling some baits.
I like the fact that the frittside stays down there in the zone well with a slow float. When I throw other flat sides, if I kill the bait for a second or 2 the bait is already almost subsurface. And yes the frittside bills are pretty fragile.
I haven’t fished the Berkley Frittside yet, but my Spro Little Johns with the circuit board lips have not failed me yet. Also I have several Rapala Ott’s Garage flat side crank baits and they have performed well also.
I don't use them because of all the complaints I've heard from them breaking. I use wood cranks you also have to be careful with wood slapping them on the water to get the weeds off is a big no no . Wood moves completey different in the water and looks way more realistic than plastic cranks . I'll never stop using wood cranks. But I use plastic to megabass cranks. I will not use cheap cranks because they just end breaking. I would rather use the John crews spro cranks because they are made better. Most of the time I'm using wood.
@@af4od02 I use black label too and rapala ph makes nice baits too a little pricey though and I like black label paint jobs better than ph . Bagley makes some nice baits but they are a lot cheaper in price. Bagley has a wire through construction you might like more durable. anyway God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri.
