Thread: Line For Cranking

I'm starting out with the mr crappie 10 lb. I may change that later after I get some experience and a few more lessons.

I get some of my cranks back when I get hung and with the no stretch properties of braid, I can tell by the vibration of my rod tips if something is wrong with my bait.

I look at my rod tips with the braid also. If it ain't shaking, something is wrong.

Good luck with that line, threw 3 spools of the crap in the garbage.

Aint that the truth

Ande high vis envy green 12lb mono. Does not affect the bite at all when jigging pushing and trolling I use it year round. You can see your line from rod tip to water. Every trip out as you put your bait out check your line for nicks and frays if you find any cut out and retie that will save you money and fish. I have used camo yellow red and clear for me the envy green works best.

I guide on Greers Ferry in North Central Arkansas. The lake is a clear water lake that was flooded with all the timber uncut so getting hung up is always happening. I use power pro braid hi vis which allows me to get some of my cranks back when hung. The fish are not line shy at all because cranking is a reaction strike.

I'm using 10 lb mr crappie hi vis... Lost at least 10 baits this weekend. Will have braid when I go back out
