I have never heard of him.  I’m not much of a crank baiter now days.  They have to really be on it for me to do it more than a half hour or so.  My advanced years and high speed reels don’t match up with that technique very well.

I just thought you might be interested since he is on T Rock a lot.

High-speed reels aren't very well suited for winding baits other than a buzz bait. Generally speaking, the higher the speed, the less the power. A good ol' 6:3:1 or 6:4:1 will serve the purpose as well as anything.

That is one of the reasons I don’t fish them often.  My reels are from 7-8.2:1 ratio.
