    Default Crankbait Question


    I have some questions concerning crankbaits, series and possibly brands.

    Do you experts prefer to use 300 vs 200, or 350 vs 250? Or vise versa? Or do you use both? Or do you use them all?

    From my short experience with them thus far, the 300's seem to be a better solution. Less line, variety of depth.

    Am I on to something, or just completely off??

    Thanks,
    Brian

    300s, well 350s in my case, can fish them from 1 foot deep to 100 feet deep.

    200 and 300 bandits,strike king 3xd,wiggle wart,c55,and arkie 350's .A man could get away with deep divers only but I like having some 200's in the boat.Also the strike kings are overlooked by alot of people,but they are becoming one of my favorites

    Ditto, I have a wide variety from
    300, 200, c55, and 200 clones, and flicker shad. Kinda like plastics ya never know what they might want. I just add a few every year and the collection grows. I personally have no experience with arkies but I see plenty folks use them.

    So, why the 200's? What is your theory??

    like the 200`s when pulling in shallow water cause you have the bait alittle farther away from the boat.I have also experimented running 200`s on one side and 300`s on the other running the same depth and have saw the 200`s out perform the 300`s on certain days.

    If you get in my boat and look at my cranking rods you will see half of them have a yellow wire tie at the but section.This is for when i`m running the 200 on one side and the 300 on the other,the poles with the yellow wire ties will have the 200`s.

    I won a contest and got 10 bandit 300. Still have 8 lost 2. Various colors. I fish them shallow and all the war to 16 ft. I have bought some very good looking strike kings that have produced.

    I too have run 200's the same depth as 300's and it seemed that they wanted the 200's more. However, I have 10 times more 300's for the same reasons Rees said above. You can get them to the same depth but with less line out for 300's or 350's.
