    Re: really deep diving crankbaits

    I've managed to put together a setup that gets crankbaits down really deep. First I use a 7'3" G-Loomis MH Deep Flex Crankbait Rod with 12lb Seaguar Flourocarbon and a Revo Winch. The 12lb flouro makes sure that line sinks and gets that bait down a foot or so deeper than normal. The rod allows you to cast super far to again get maximum depth and the reel allows to crank very very slowly since its 5.4:1 which keeps the bait from rising too fast. This combo will let you get those deep divers down deep like you want. You can expect true depth out of your DD-22's and others.

    Re: really deep diving crankbaits

    Man you guys make my head spin. More to it than just opening the package and tossing it out. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to get the boat out and see how your tips pay off. Believe I can get it down deeper than I have been from your tips.

    Coombro- if you are going to be trolling, invest in a guide book called Precision Trolling Big Water Edition - it provides specific depth curves for most popular lures, using various methods such as leadcore,Dipsy Divers, Jet Divers, In-Line weights and Planer Board use. If you want specific information related to just crank baits with depth curves with mph graphs then get the Precision Trolling Crankbait Edition- they have laminated pages so you wont ruin it out on the water, basically a trollers bible if you will, for about $30 bucks a great investment......
