Crankbait Question

I failed to add a couple of brands that I'll keep to myself but I have been doing pretty well on the Arkie 350s at times.

Right now KY lake is in a huge funk on the north end. Me thinks 15 inches of rain a couple weeks back didn't help.Tons of bait and zero current are not a good combination either.

You know us crappie guys aren't prone to excuses.

And it also depends on the lakes you fish, the ones I fish are relatively shallow from summer to spring.. then they rise 20 feet... Lol

I have fished with a lot of great crappie fisherman who pull cranks I mostly single pole but it seemed that the 300 bandit at 50,60 and 70 feet put a ton of fish on the tail gate as far as the 200 don't know all the guys I fished with never used them that I can remember good luck to you and hope you get on em

I use Arkie 220 s to push with and I use 350s to pull with....If I an fishing shallow I sometimes pull 220s just so I can get the bait further away from the boat.

I don't have a wallet like BRM's so I might start painting my own.

When my wife and I won that KY Lake tournament last Sept we were running c55s 30 feet back. They wanted the big bait and action just not as deep as most folks thought.

agreed,but sometimes i will pull them across a point and they will be dragging bottom,lol.The crappie will hammer them in the deeper water on each side of the point,always wonder if the mudd they are stirring up helps the bite:biggrin

G...What is an Arkie 250...that is a new one on me.
