I don't mind losing 1 crank bait at a time, but by golly it hurts to lose 5 at one time, then do it again 15 minutes later!

Try using braid... Lot less baits lost.

Must be hitting a net or trotline... Ain't lost 5 on mono in 3 years.. Hate that for you
10 is more than I lost all yer last year, loosen the drag.
GPS coordinates please
Ain't got a gps, but I think it was a log that wasn't all the way on the bottom! And it was in 2 different spots! And then the trot line came into play, but got out of that one!

GPS is the cats meow, download one on your phone. The Navionics does great and is only 10 bucks
Braid.
LMAO, Yes Please.Quote:

I would rather lose a crankbait than break a rodQuote:

Sounds like a good lure retriever is in your future like the ones the green carp guys use. Never lost that many and I use mono.
You were draggin cranks on butla???? You deserve what ya got then. :crazy:Quote:

Braid and a gps man, gotta know whats under there while you are pullin. Try going in flats with no or very little cover instead of huge trees
Butla aint nothin but a huge flat! and on second thought, I think it may have been a catfish box! And braid dont work too well pushin I dont believe!
Works fine for me PUSHIN!
You lost 50 bucks, if i find em ill sell em back to ya for ohh we will talk price when i find em..
Maybe try Jann's NetCraft lures, Vibramax 70 body dives to 20ft. $2.39 each, just add swivels and hooks. I couldn't afford losing that many Bandit's, I'd have to get in the water and get them puppies back...lol
20 ft? that is bout 10 foot further than the bottom!
RoflBut now im wishing I would have marked it and went back when it got a lil warmer in the day and got em! And i dont do as good with braid on mine! I ran a lil test trial runnin 50/50 on 5 trips, same color and cranks, and caught less than half with braid!
So why do you think that is, I just switched to braid this year from 10lb Hi-Viz, Im not doing good either.Quote:

what a .mess 10 ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
guys you have to play around with braid vs mono. All depth charts I ever saw were for 10lb mono. Baits on braid run a little deeper cause of the line diameter.
Duck....You do realize you have the option not to pull them 20 foot deep, you could pull them 5 deep deep if you choose, just trying to tell you about a cheaper crankQuote:

I'll be quite and leave you alone....
Oh I know, I was jus kiddin! Those would probably work at Sardis fairly well
But I will tell you it's hard to not go back with what you're comfortable with also, I bought some of the strike kings, almost exact paint as bandits, and I catch 5:1!
