I typically troll sharp drops, just off the drop in deeper water anywhere from 16-25 feet. I pull 300s and 200s mostly so I don't want my 300s digging the bottom with 10 pound line. If I need to go shallower, I'll reel in to where I'm only running 60 feet or so out rather than my normal 80-120 feet.

My favorite KY Lake colors are black bubblegum, hot pink, Old Light (chart with light brown back) and a custom matte color that has a purple back and ribs, green sides and orange belly. If I have another person in the boat with me, I'll run up to 10-12 rods and use a variety of colors to see what they want that day. If losing numbers of $5 baits hurts your soul, you don't want to be pulling cranks for crappie. You will lose several over the course of a season. Just don't tell your wife about it.

Since you are new here, welcome by the way, you need to go over to the Mississippi Forum and read the sticky at the top of the page titled " Pulling Cranks 101"
