Thanks Catchum. I have read that article several times and each time I learn something new, like today, seeing that picture of those two cranks, both with treble hooks, reminds me what a nightmare I would be in if I don't go on and get one of those plastic nets. I had to cut two red hooks last time out because of getting caught in my NEW net.

At least you had some help where you did not buy a bunch of stuff you would not like and wan't. That at least helps a lot. Good luke.

Bear says he is going to give them crappie fits this spring, starting tomorrow if the temp gets to 58. Now, he says don't look too close, he may not be on the water, but you have to practice some time or other. At least he has carpet, not kitchen tile.lol

Bear's boat looks real good especially with those new rod holders. I told him that you would have something ready for him.:D

E-Z, thanks for all of your help. I hope to have some fish pics soon. Thanks again. Big thanks owed to Maj for the info.

Guys, E-Z is great to deal with. Good looking product and top notch service. Thanks for the web site.

Glad to be of some help.

When you push crankbaits do you put your weight on bottom? or do you use a inline weight

Online about 3 to 4 feet above the bait. Any closer and it will affect the action. I typically use 2 ounces. Even at that. It doesn't get quite as deep as the ones off the back. But if you slow down to under 1.5 they will get deeper than the ones in the back.
