Just a little info for the Crankbait chunkers. Save your money on buying expensive extension poles and plug knockers when at the boat and tackle shows. I followed the recommendations from Vmaxx and other fisherman on here by getting the large tear drop sinkers and attaching a snap swivel to it so i could snap it onto the line when the crankbait is hung up and it works AWESOME. If one doesn't work send another down the line and jiggle that rod until it comes free. I purchased the 3-ounce and 4-ounce sinkers and have not lost a bait since. I tried it many times at Cedar Creek this fall with great success. Prior to that i was losing 6 dollar crankbaits way to often. Try it, this really works and is cheap. Nothing is perfect but this is the best so far in my opinion. :-)
