Worst Crankbait?

For me, it was probably that line Â* of Manns Loudmouth big crankbaits, they used to have some bearded pro, Paul Elias on the circuit in the 90's and he slayed them on the Mississippi river with this bait,
I got that and the DD22 and fished them both, the DD22 did lots better, I had a bright chartruse one, I've just never had any luck on the loudmouths.
That and some balsa wood homemade flat sided crankbaits I got that havent ever caught anything but a bluegill, and trust me I put in days on days of throwing this plug with NADA
so I got to thinking ..anyone else bombed out?
I know the reason they dont work, they aren't as applicable to the lakes we fish compared to where they did work and became famous
