Thread: Atomic crank vs Jackall chubby

    Atomic crank vs Jackall chubby

    Wondering how the Atomic cranks pair upto to the chubbys? I like the action and vibe of the chubbys but there overpriced. The Atomics are almost half the price of the jackals.




    Also does anyone know if the Atomic Shad is much different to the Atomic Bream Shad? The bream shad weighs about .5 grams more so casting may be the winning factor.

    The atomic lures are fair for the price ...... but the Chubby is a very consistent & better finshed lure .
    If you buy your Jackalls overseas ..... it really becomes chalk & cheese

    A quick look at my two favorite sites do not have any chubbys - but similar models

    have a look at Ebay site (sushilures) & www.tacklewarehouse.com

    hey mate i prefer the atomic cranks have accounted for some very good fish this year already from whiting and bream to big flathead eastury perch and bass. only thing about the chubby's is the colour range.

    the shads are just a longer slimmer profile to the bream shad but work great on flathead and whiting. they will still acount for the odd bream or two but for some reason the bream shad just works for them alot better

    cheers

    I picked up a couple atomic cranks this morning in ghost wasaki and ghost gill also got some shads in similar colors. Thought I would grab a r2s baby crank also.

    They certainly seem well crafted so see how they go.

    My best bream lure is an atmoic in dark natural colour (my go to lure). Still a fan of the chubbies though and have a few
    Gone fishin', be back at dark-thirty!

    I personally prefer the chubbies purely for their castability compared to anything else on the market. They just cast alot further and have a much more consistant swimming action and hardly ever need tuning. Imo the jackals are worth the money. Cheers Whytey
