It is a crankbait for a reason maybe.....

you can get "cranked" pulling crankbaits......catfish like crankbaits too....

you think you hit a log when one those catfish bends the pole deep into the water....

the guys on here know what they are doing....I tried a "recommended" set up and it works for me pretty well.....I put a post on here about how I learned to do it....I believe CrappieMax is trying to learn as well....check those threads also......

good luck......
