love the look of the smoked prawn and the colours of the jolly tail

[@beauhicks5804]

Smoked prawn for the win ! Love that colour esp when prawns are running

[@overnightOCD]

i just caught a flathead on a lure after watching your vids ..thanks man

[@jaxonavery8285]

That Smelt Colour is unreal! love the cranka crabs. Love to win!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Yup! Entry is in.

[@ringboypunk]

I love the look of the clear ghost and the flash prawn. Another great vid dude!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks legend!

[@richardtuxford1812]

All look fantastic, the clear ghost is my favourite

[@jimmyrecard6021]

Smelt and BBQ Prawn are my personal favourites

[@Navsh26]

Olive Galaxia looks like an effective lure amongst the bread and butter fish. Great video as always! Informative and entertaining.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Shanne! Appreciate the entry

[@nickarnold9633]

Smoked prawn has rarely let me down, unreal lures 👌🏻

[@ByronTeaHill]

thanks for the entry Nick! Logged for the prize

[@peterclark4573]

JollyTail will be my favorite colour too Byron, closely followed by HardyHead & FlashPrawn & Smelt looks great. Thanks for another great review & thanks Steve & the CRANKA lures team for producing great Australian owned & designed quality lures that catch heaps of fish. 🎣🐟👍

[@ByronTeaHill]

Youre a legend Peter, I saw your share. Thanks very much for your kind words mate - really appreciate the effort buddy

[@beautassie5882]

Hardhead is my favourite, and definite more whiting videos!

[@jmax3897]

Ripper review! The eye on the smelt looks epic

[@B-e-n01]

Clear ghost looks great also. Love the red under the head.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Classic combination. Thanks Benny

[@mikaerekiriona8167]

Smoked Prawn would probably be my favourite for sure, love the look of the Golden Trout though

[@ByronTeaHill]

awesome entry, thanks for the comment.

[@chriskiotis6370]

Hardyhead is my favourite, love your work brother keep it up!

[@mattpearce2881]

Hardy head looks like a great bait presentation 👌

[@ByronTeaHill]

It was

[@andrewgardiner1706]

I can already picture that smoked prawn being killer on the sand flats along with the garfish pairing perfectly when you've got that mix between eel grass and sandy bottom. Such versatile lures.

[@matthewfielden8972]

Some great colours in the range - tough pick between smelt, hardyhead and jollytail - but jollytail for me! Another great review Byron - keep the vids coming!!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks for watching! and thanks for the comment

[@paulcook6800]

Smelt for me. Agree with your observation on the vibration/feedback of the lure - something I am still getting used to. Would be great to see more of the YFW on lures - such an aggressive and hard fighting fish for the size.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Paul! I’ll keep it in mind. Right lines and thanks for the comment

[@joshstorer7848]

Smelt is my favourite looks unreal for my local estuaries. Great video mate.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Josh. Had a blast making it for you. Entry is in, yewwww!!!

[@danieltassie8305]

Hardyhead and Smoked Prawn really catch my eye, definitely grabbing some to try

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey neighbour!

[@vikingprotocols2933]

Hardi head looks like the colour of choice, plenty of those in my area of Brissie! Excellent review BTH

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thank you! Cheers! Good luck mate

[@shanegore5045]

Smelt would be the go to for me love the shallow water hunts!

[@ByronTeaHill]

It worked for me, no reason it wont for you! Good luck mate.

[@simonanderson6335]

Garfish is the best colour. Love this channel!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks so much! Love this comment!!

[@justinadams5159]

Just finished up with my art exhibition main part being drawings in colour of Coastal/Regional N.S.W & Victoria so there wasn’t one pic in the series that didn’t feature a fishing rod. Popular we sold five. My favourite colour for the Cranka Minnows is Clear Ghost. Love them

[@ByronTeaHill]

Sounds like fun!!! Thanks for the entry legend.

[@evanmiris5765]

I like the prawn colour in my local waters . Great on bream whiting tailor flathead and small snapper. You can put slightly bigger hooks on the shallow running lures and get them down deeper and change the way they suspend as well.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good tip! thanks for the comment Evan, appreciate it mate

[@leightonbeer3850]

Garfish for meeeee. Good info in the vid. Good to see you talking to the Cranka boys and getting all the right info out.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Glad you enjoyed it. Mate I need to! there are too many lures out there and a giant variation in techniques out there - I'd be silly to not reach out and ask for opinions. Entry is in buddy, thanks for the comment!

[@douglascobb]

Though they're all great, I'd say that I like the Hardyhead and Smoked Prawn the best of the bunch. The smelt one looks like it'd be a great go-to one, as well! Thanks for offering everyone the chance to win these terrific Cranka Minnows!

[@ByronTeaHill]

My pleasure Douglas, thanks for the comment.

[@ewanhall285]

been desperate to try all the different crank lures for some time but they are like gold dust. In the minnow I'd be going for the hardhead or jolly tail, they look stunning.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice! they look good

[@guihongsun7750]

smoked prawn is always the winner for me

[@ByronTeaHill]

Awesome

[@jac_fishing8833]

Awesome review Byron !! My favourite colour is olive galaxia

[@lucasrelic7899]

Hardy head is definitely the favourite!!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Logged and entered

[@mikesutcliffe1142]

Nice job, as always, Byron! Got to go with the Hardyhead. I’ve seen those little baitfish all over Australia. They’re like the Snickers bars of the estuaries!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice hahahaha! love the comparison.

[@damianscholten6451]

BBQ Prawn would be what I would tie on for my first cast it looks awesome. keep up the great reviews.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks! Will do! Entry is in

[@bencamseoloise3795]

Smelt looks like a winner to me , great review like watching your clips

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Ben, small comments like this make it feel worth it! Entry is in bud

[@seanmuxlow4052]

Great review as always mate, thanks to Cranka for a chance to win. Golden Trout would be awesome on bass. Cheers

[@ByronTeaHill]

You're in and good luck

[@ben5418]

Golden Trout as it is one of my go to lures for trout here in the snowy mountains

[@ByronTeaHill]

Probably one of the colours I didn’t use as I wasn’t after trout. No doubt it could catch a fish though

[@jacklucy2]

Hardy head looks real, although I’d love to try the gar as well! Another top review from the Guru!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks legend! Appreciate seeing yo-yo back here mate

[@matthewmarinovic2478]

Awesome vid. The Hardyhead has got to be the best

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Matthew. Logged your entry

[@mariamichaelmekhail1049]

Awesome video, yet again, Byron! Smoked Prawn looks a treat but I'm sure a few of the colours would prove equally effective.

[@ByronTeaHill]

I think so too! thanks for the compliment bud

[@KANGSTAROO]

Hardy head would be my fav for sure!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks for coming back!

[@jessethompson5932]

Smelt in the cranka minnow is my fave . Having to putt new trebles on straight away is a must. Great on flats up north .

[@matthewscheimer2387]

Hey Byron, Great content as always love seeing the new boat been put to use. With so many option that you have explained, I think my starting point would have to be the Jollytail as an all rounder and then progress with confidence. Enjoy mate, tight lines

[@ByronTeaHill]

It’s a good place to start buddy, appreciate the comment mate. Tight lines!!

[@kellyoneal1675]

My favorite color is the Jolly Tale. Thank you.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice!

[@danebirch4768]

Smelt for me! Matches the bait around here perfectly 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good choice!

[@hookedupwithdanielsemmens9905]

As always great video mate, plenty of solid info keep up the good work🤙🎣 My choice would be smoked prawn/bbq prawn as you can’t really go past a prawn imitation for most bodies of water.👍

[@tonypaine4958]

Hardyhead looks the goods. Good review Byron

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Tony!

[@charliesfishing6734]

the bbq prawn looks pretty mint and looks very good would be very keen on trying one of these lures

Give them a go mate. They won’t dissapoint

Smoked prawn and jollytail will 100% slay down my local 🙌🏽

[@ByronTeaHill]

Entry in! Thanks for the comment

[@michaelb5907]

Fav colour Jollytail. Bought one today after seeing this to chase harbour pelagics feeding on bait balls.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Nice! hope it gets you some fish!!

[@nigelbuckton1555]

The smelt colour on the sand flats would probably work well as a whiting profile for big flathead. Well done on the the vids. Please Keep them coming.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Cheers Nigel! Appreciate the comment mtate

[@simonhiggs5742]

Smoked prawn mate!! Fantastic colour..

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sarph2500]

Hi Bryon, thanks for the vid, very informative as always. If I had had to choose a colour I’d have to go with Hardyhead. You have become my ‘go to’ when I am investigating new products. Thanks again.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Mate you’re a legend for saying that. Thank you. Let me know / send me a message if there’s anything you want me to look at.

[@CaptainBax]

Great review Byron, haven't had the pleasure of hunting with one yet but I think they'll all catch fish. If I had to buy only one though I'd go with the Olive Galaxia, I find lures with a touch of green to them work well on most species. Well done to Cranka for another great looking lure.

[@ByronTeaHill]

green is never a bad colour is it! thanks for the entry and the comment mate

[@saddmon386]

The smelt colour looks the good as well

[@ByronTeaHill]

Probably my favourite

[@figjam4005]

Caught my first fish on a hard body a few days ago. It was a nice little flathead on a jackall chubby. I'll be keeping an eye out for these cranka minnow in particular the BBQ prawn 😉. Love the channel mate great content for a semi noob like myself, cheers.

[@ByronTeaHill]

No worries, thanks for the comment mate.

[@peterchristensen8619]

Only choosing one colour will be to hard. I'd say top 3 Smelt, BBQ Prawn and Jolly Tail. Another great Vid Thanks BTH

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Peter, appreciate you coming back mate.

[@pjbertoni]

Dude another AWESOME vid, I think the best color is probably the HardyHead only because this little baitfish can be found all over Australia and that makes that color so viable for any tackle box.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Glad you enjoyed it Pieter! Good colour choice.

[@pjbertoni]

@@ByronTeaHill thanks mate. I have been fishing A lot of Zman Lately but really wanting to get into the Hardy Bodies it seems like there not fished that often anymore?

[@jackestabrook8545]

I love the jolly tail but I think the four you have selected would all catch loads of fish.

[@gregorybigeni9457]

Great video 👍SMELT LOOKS A GREAT COLOUR

[@ByronTeaHill]

It is!

[@masonryan-borbasi4530]

Clear ghost would have to be my pick. Reckon the whiting would love it on the flats around here 👌🏼

Definitely the hardyhead I think Byron. Love ya vids bud. This lure will rock for me with my new HWS compass I just bought from your last post. (I scored the package ) And if get the seat risers sent at the same time with these magic lures, game on. Jed will be cranking on track with the compass. Fish on!

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hell yeah! Nice work Jed. Mate you’ll be pumped with that kayak. I really am trying to avoid selling my compass. They are dynamite in the water. Sick vessel

[@paulhenry4813]

I am really keen to try Smelt and Hardyhead a go. I could see myself using both of them.

[@Flanklin.]

Smelt is my go to colour 👍

Haven't had a chance to use my smelt yet but that flash of colour on the bottom definitely think would be a great attraction for them by the way love the channel thanks for sharing cheers

My pleasure Mark! Entry in.

[@makyetelfer2100]

Hardyhead would be my go too colour for sure

[@ByronTeaHill]

you tried one yet buddy?

[@samshepherd26]

The suspending and slow retrieve seems like they'd be perfect for fresh water bass fishing, trying to get those fish out of the snags to strike. Might have to get myself an olive one I think. 🎣
