Cranks For Trolling.......

[chris3179]

i am trying to dial in my box with just a few cranks for trolling. what does everyone else use? i know f and f uses flicker shad, i have picked those up and they are great.

[Feathers and Fins]

Flickershad and Rapalas for 10 to 25ft

Roostertails panther martins, rattletraps for 2 to 10 ft

All depends on what you are after, but those are my tops.

On 10/2 braid an original series wiggle wart will fish 8 to 25 feet, depending on line length, and is much cheaper than a rapala dt. To go deeper than 25 feet, I use a Cabelas knock off of the reef runner.

If you're trolling for crappie, Bandit 300's work well and you'll pick up an occasional walleye.

I like to pull a tail dancer once in a while, it is a walleye lure but catches more spots than anything for me. In the spring a redfin trolled with the rod up high to keep it waking will get some big fish to hit and the longer the line the easier to wake.

We've caught more fish trolling with a Rapala jointed shad-rap in shad color than anything else. Lots of kentucky's, hybrids, crappie, you name it.

I just started using a Rapala trolls-to in clown color and got my first Walleye last weekend.

9 I like for 8 to 12 ft to really thump the bottom hard, I go through 4 to 8 every time out doing that but get tons of bites because of it.
