I'd like to try casting crankbaits over submerged brush/structure but I have a few questions. Any input is appreciated....

1. Since I'm casting and not trolling, am i better using a 200 series bandit or a 300 series? I'm worried that a 200 may not go deep enough to run closely above the brush. On the other hand, a 300 may be too deep?

2. Bandits seem to be the bait of choice, but has anyone tried the Wally Marshall Crappie Cranks?

3. Any tips in terms of retrieve or other specific factors in successfully running these over suspended brush? I will be casting from boat docks and not from shore, so I'll be standing over deeper water.

Any help will be appreciated. I'll be at LOZ Nov. 1-4 and want to give this a shot that weekend.

Thanks!
