I'm no expert by any means but I've caught a bunch trolling cranks I stay around one mile and hour and fish the first dtop off out from where I catch them in the spring. On cloudy days I like to troll in front of the docks Icatch them on dock shooting. I don't catch many but I caught two over 3 lbs this year on the arkie cranks. Those cranks will catch some of the biggest crappie in tge lake
