The LVR D-10 has a bigger profile than most lipless baits. That's the simple reason I use it - to appeal to bigger bass. If you throw the LVR D-10 all day, you will bag a bigger average size of bass than if you threw standard size baits like the LVR D-7 or LV-500 in the same places. It's that simple.

That makes it a good 'kicker fish' bait for tournaments, since the bulky D-10 is built to be 'selective' for big bass. There are two schools of thought on this. First is to go for broke, fishing with the big D-10 right out of the starting gate. The second strategy is to fill out a limit of small fish with a standard size lipless, such as the D-7 or LV-500. Once you've gotten to the stage where all you're doing is culling clones without really upgrading your weight, then switch to the bigger profile D-10 to go for that necessary kicker. Whatever strategy you use, a bigger lipless like the D-10 does bag bigger bass than average.

Lucky Craft Crankbait Color Considerations

Lucky Craft is legendary for it's artful, natural baitfish colors. You won't see a lot of red throat splashes, red eyes or other gaudy lipstick. They're not known for their bright chartreuse-based, fire tiger or other bold color patterns.

Where Lucky Craft lures excel, what they do better than other vendors, are complex yet natural finishes. Along those lines, the four most popular colors across most every Lucky Craft product model are:

1. Chartreuse Shad (color #250) is said to be 'the' most popular Lucky Craft color. If you had to limit yourself to just one color, Chartreuse Shad is it.

2. Ghost Minnow (color #238) is considered the most popular clear water color in the Lucky Craft line-up.

3. Aurora Black (color #052) is flashy, yes, but not nearly as flashy as MS American Shad. Aurora Black is much more subdued and subtle.

4. MS American Shad (color #270) is a high flash color for when fish want a lot of flash in a lure. It's one of Lucky Craft's (or any other vendor's) most beautiful colors. It is truly a special experience to fish with it. The 'MS' means 'Magic Scales'.

MS Herring (color #254) is another of the most beautiful of all Lucky Craft colors. It is similar to MS American Shad in that they are both high flash colors. However, MS Herring does not come in every crankbait model. It is not available in the LV-200, LV-300 or LV-500. It is available in the LVR D-7 and LVR D-10.

Mad Craw (color #286) and Spring Craw (color #070) are quite popular colors for lipped crankbaits and lipless too.

Note: This item comes brand new in box with original hooks and split rings on it.
