Now I need help

[Billy E]

OK guys I just got in the mail my 4 BNM pro staff trolling poles and 4 okuma pro line 15 and Iam going to learn how to troll cranks and long line.I hope by next year I will have a good idea how to do it. What I need to know is what color bandits are the top 10. And iam sure I will longline also what type of jigs. I know Iam asking a lot but you guys have never turned me down yet.

Oh!! You poor thing!! There goes all of your kids college money and Christmas presents.
We have posted plenty here or read the Mississippi board. I just started this past year my self. I do pretty good on Greer's Ferry, Degray, and Maumelle. I can't get them to hit them on Greeson. And it is suicide to try dragging on Conway. My go to color is Pearl/Black back. Some of the other $300 worth of Bandits I own will produce occasionally too. Splatter chartruse wore them out the last time I drug Bandits on Greer's Ferry. Keep your speed around 1.5 MPH.
I long line tube jigs on Greer's. White or anything with pink does it for me around .8 to 1.2 MPH.
Good Luck

Thanks DP. I figure that every post I read will cost me 20-50 dollars. Iam glad I got my BPS Christmas catalog with pages dog eared and I will start highlighting the colors. Thanks again

My best producing Bandit colors are.....Awsum Pink, Pink/Silver Sparkle , Orange Crush, Blue Chrome, Sardis Gold, and Ole Miss. I do best when I pull them at 1.8 mph.

Awesome Pink, Mistake, Red Craw, Solid Black, Pearl White, Blue Splatter Back, Tennessee Shad, Sardis Gold, Pink Sparkle, Mad Cow. Time you buy 6 of each color that would be 60 Bandits X 5.00= 300.00. That should get you started.

Thanks Creek- Like you said, when I read those color all I hear is 5-10-15-20...lol.No body has ever said anything about a lure knocker but I guess that goes without saying.Those guys from MS are crazy eat up with it on pulling cranks.Ive been reading MS forum and learning a lot.Thanks MS. Ill stay with my hog advice and breakout the credit card. By the way, how is the arm? Thanks for all the advice and I hope to see you on Greers soon.

I have fished several time on the North MS lakes and have been hung twice. I can count on getting hung at least 5 times every time I pull on Greers so I do have a plug knocker. The shoulder is getting better, I fished for the first time Saturday since the surgery.

Top 10, not in order:

Mistake
Red Craw
Black Glitter
Chartrues
Pink (Bubble Gum and Awesome)
Fire Tiger
Copper Tiger
Chartrues/Black Stripe
Mad Cow
Spring Craw

My list might vary due to North MS lakes vs AR. I'd prolly compare Creek's list to mine and shade towards his. He ain't much to look at, but he's fished AR more than me and knows what he's doing with Cranks and has some of my money to prove it.
