There is a lot of info on the Miss. board. Rees Guide and some of those guys are crank bait gurus. I have never pulled cranks but from talking to some of those Mississippi boys I have learned you need lakes with a lot of white crappie. You need a lake with a thermocline. Hard to find in Ala. Guntersville in some areas would probably be ok. I think callshy pulls cranks some on the lower end. You also need a bunch of money cause they don't give those cranks away.
