A little hepl from you pros

These are a Manns BabyMinus 1 I was wondering if any of you now where I can get this the exact same one as this one. I think maybe it was discontinued??? I have looked at all the big stores even on the manns web site and have had no luck. thanks for the help.

I have the same one and it is one of my most productive spring baits. I did not know that the color was possibly discontinued.

Watch the Gander clearance bins in the next couple weeks, as that is a really good spot to find older baits. I got mine there for 75 cents.

That's a good one. I know that they have almost as many color combos as a rattle trap. They had some that were exclusive to certain companies, maybe this was one of those... Sorry, but if I see one I'll post up!

I believe I have the same one. I'll second the Gander clearance bins. Usually they have a bin full of Mann crankbaits that have discontinued colors/models, or seconds(production flaws). This is where most of mine have come from and save money. I've noticed the GM in Forest Lake sometimes has more clearance items than say Blaine.

I just bought a bunch of baby 1 minus baits at Gander in Bemidji. I didn't see any of them in this color though... They were $.99 each. If you can't find any that color, you could get them painted by a lure maker, or give it a whirl yourself. I make flat-sided cedar baits and paint them with my airbrush. It is another hobby that passes the winter months, kind of like building rods and pouring jigs.

Ahh yes, the lemon shad is it? I might be able to find one that had one of the o-ring harnesses cut out. Evidently they also work to catch friends in the head? That'll end your day real quick.

But I did buy a new one and I still have it. caught quite a few spring bass on it just last year over shallow flats. It was actually one of my go-to baits. I prefer the reg 1-minus versus the "baby" though.

I did a quick search on the ya-who for "mann's lemon shad minus" the first result had em' for $4.
