Grumpy,
Don't know about the Cabela's Brand. But I use a lot of RC5's by Rapala.... But like you say there like $ 5.99 a piece.... I discovered the Renegade series crank baits...They look great, they have an excellent wobble to them in the water and I have caught just as many fish on them.... Renegade also makes their baits in different styles, so as to let a fisherman select the depth he wants to fish at. Great news...The Renegade crank baits cost either $1.99 or $ 2.99, hard to remember back that far since I bought them....But they do catch fish......
