Yea that's what I'm saying. I fought it for a while because I was not sure what it was and it was windy and I had to maneuver my boat to get my Crank Bait Back. I didn't want to cut the line and lose the $5 plus crank bait. It's one of my favorite colors too.

A fish would have run and this didn't do that. But I was watching the sonar as I manevered around the area trying to see what was down there holding onto my bait.

I'm just glad that the little cheap lead head jig was hooked on it and not my crank bait

I find that most of the fish I catch hit the jig and don't hit the crank bait. I catch a lot of big bluegills on the trailer jig and also catch a lot of bass on the trailer jig.

Still it was 65 ft deep in this spot and I could not see anything coming up off the bottom to the depth that my crank bait was running.

I'm still trying to figure this out. It's got me puzzled for sure.
