Bandit wear n tear

[Get-th-dm-net]

It's my first year really pulling cranks and I'm noticing after a few trips my new cranks are worn the heck out. Looks like the front treble rubs spots on the bellies pretty good. I been pulling 2.0 -2.2 mph range. They are rubbing past the paint. My black cranks look really rough and I'm not catching many slimers. Is this normal or can I change something to enhance the life of the crank?

I don't have any wear to speak of but I don't troll that fast.

Same here...I usually run between 1.5 and 1.8 mph

Bet I need to slow it down a little

But, do you catch fish at your speed of between 2 and 2.2 mph?

I have noticed any wear either, never pull over 2 tho. An old, wore out, battled scarred bait will out catch a band new one anyway.

go to a smaller treble hook on the front

Try pushing,doesnt require a lot of speed and you can turn a tighter radius.

I have been catching my limit at this speed but I will try a little slower. Everybody can catch a limit easily the past few weeks it seems so I don't think my speed is anything special. I have never tried pushing I would not know where to start.
