Caught few at Enid Monday...biggest was 14in mighta weigh'd 1.25(all was shinny).... didnt have any 200's with me so had to fish 300's with bout 40ft of line bout 1.7mph worked best for me .... White was best caught few on pink and black.... they was spread out but when you found them you would have 2 or 3 on at a time.... water temp was running low to mid 70's and water was lil stain'd and trashy but best color i had fish'd this year so far in BIG4/ Mississippi....

I prefer this one, holds more baits and takes up less room. They have 2 this size one is a spinnerbait set up and the othe has dividers for cranks, I like the spinnerbait one better. It will hold 180 baits verses 120 in the sae box just different dividers.

I wouldnt at first, get 2 of each, maybe 4 of a couple of good colors and figue it out from there. I got one color I leave on at least one pole all the time and every now and then you will find only one thing that works. Want a list??:biggrin
I think it would be great if u posted ur list, and anyone else that wouldn't mind sharing.Quote:

Orange crush, my absolute favorite, stays on one of my poles 90+% of the time along with the blue, the electric chicken and the black to start with.
I dont know the names of them EZ, will take some pics and post em. (maybe):biggrin
Top 3 are go to baits and will start off with them if its early or cloudy, the next 3 are good brite day baits and the one on the bottom is swiftly becoming a go to bait in clear water. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps1bc5c56b.jpg
I am new to pulling cranks. Been reading all this info. I have a question bout the bandit depth chart. At what speed is the depth chart referring to? I guess that is the question I am trying to ask. Seems to me the faster you pull the baits the deeper it will go. Is that the maximum depth they will go?
Speed should have no affect on the depth. Line diameter, on the other hand....................
You want your speed to stay between 1.5-2.0.Quote:

Y'all use the 200s much at all? I realize this madness is just beginning. But thought I might put the 100s and 200s up for sale. What y'all say?
I would keep them all, there will be times when you will want to run shallow, fish may be deeper on one end of the lake and shallow on the other. But if you decide to sell I would be interested.
Can someone tell me the difference between an Okuma Magda 15D and a DX?
the dx is just a little nicer reel for 2 bucks more. go to northwoods wholesale cheapest place to buy them. I just got 4 of them, alot of guys say buy the 20's but im happy with the 15's hold less line that you dont need. the main difference in them is the 20 has a thumb rest on top of the reel. I dont see it as anything major. I also think the dx has a better drag system.
Definitely get the 20DX!!Quote:

I would ask the same question cl. I think the 15 's hold 330 yds of 10 lb. I will use 230 of filler then 100+ of good line.
