Shush about that V210 now. Also the other color I didn't mention. Brett knows that one.

I am all for transparency, sharing and willingness to help fellow Ozark Angler Folk and brethren.....but some things have to be held close to the (life)vest.

I'd add that you need a red craw color on the RK Crawler.  I'll also highly recommend grabbing 2-3 Bandit 200 cranks as well.  When everyone is beating the banks with the WW and the Crawler, I have great luck with a Bandit 200.

Such good info in this thread. First off thank you to all who have contributed. 

With all these veteran cranker's chiming in, I'd love to hear what everyone's preferred setup is for cranking ww's/rc's. 

Same line and gear ratio for both?

I use a St. Croix "mojo" rod paired with a lew's laser mg 5.4:1
