True to its name, the D-12 gets down toward the 12 foot depth range more or less. It is a heavy duty crankbait that's larger and gets deeper than most other crankbaits anglers typically use - and it dredges up larger bass than most anglers typically catch as well. It's hard work to throw all day, but you can be well-rewarded by the D-12. You may not get as many, but they'll be heavy.

Bassdozer says: "One little thing to remember for the Flat CB deep-running models (DR, D12, D20) is to give them all a yank before cranking. Internally they have a large metal ball that moves in a chamber to the back of the bait to help maximize casting distance. The ball does not always automatically roll back down the chamber behind the diving bill at the completion of a cast. So you may need to yank them first to help roll the ball down into the diving position before cranking."

Color Considerations

The most popular colors across most every Lucky Craft product model are:

1. Chartreuse Shad. One of if not 'the' most popular Lucky Craft color. If you had to limit yourself to just one Lucky Craft color, Chartreuse Shad is the one.

2. Ghost Minnow. The most popular clear water color in the Lucky Craft line-up.

3. MS American Shad. One of the most beautiful of all Lucky Craft (or any other vendor's) colors. It is truly a special experience to fish with it. It is a high flash color for when fish want a lot of flash in a lure.

4. Aurora Black. Flashy yes, but much more subdued, and very popuular. In a separate class from, and not nearly as flashy as MS American Shad.

MS Herring is another of the most beautiful and fairly popular of all Lucky Craft colors. It is similar to MS American Shad in that they are both high flash colors. However, it is not available in every product model. MS Herring is not available in Bevy Shad 75, Moonsault CB-200, Moonsault CB-350, to name a few.
