Some folks have different opinions. I favor clear line for jigs and remember , heavier line means slower rate of fall.
My go to color on Greers for cranks is Awesome Pink, for a jig my go to color is my pink/chartreuse/white. I use 30# braid for cranks and 20# braid for jigs. You won't need braid on Norfork because it was clearcut before it was flooded but Greers was flooded with all the timber uncut.
Hmmm. Learned something today.Quote:

If any of y'all end up on hand cove woods point end look me up. Hope to be up there more this summer.
But remember I'm still looking for help figuring out norfork too. By no means good at clear deep water. Much more comfortable at Sardis Still can be humbled down there but can try to look like I know what I'm doing.
Thanks for the info guys. By the way creek I bought a set of your rod storage racks from BRM last year there top notch.
thanks, if you pull cranks on Sardis or Enid the colors that work there will work here.Quote:

sorry about that. it was a joke. not a good one, but a joke. what I meant was they left some lower unit eating stumps. That lake is misleading,when it is low there are very large surface areas that look like open water. unless you know a little about that lake you better not open up that throttle
