Beieve you have said in past that you use a lot of bandits (floating crankbaits)
virus lipless cranks - or do you use comb of single - double jigs sets with the
cranks?
If this was directed to me, I use combinations of single and double jigs. No crankbaits at all. If any weeds are present and 2 people fishing I run only singles, any weed will change the trail of the baits and cause tangles real quick. I keep my baits running pretty even as best I can, trying to simulate a broken school of shad coming by. Usually do not get many tangles from fish as they tend to pull back and rise up above the others, unless multiples on and drag them a a bit. Biggest majority of my tangles come from weeds or getting shallow and dragging bottom in a turn. On a cast that lands way off mark from wind or something I hold the rod tip high and above where I want the line to run for a few seconds until it comes back in line.
