[QUOTE="Norske, post: 24709, member: 409"] Determining proper speed for a crank bait is easy. Drop it over the side with about 10' of line and watch its action change as you vary your speed. When you find the sweet spot, extra line out doesn't change the bait's action, but it does change the depth the bait will reach. Not how your rod tip pulses at the best speed. That makes a good reference. By-the-way, floating Rapala minnows aren't supposed to wobble their tails side-to-side, they are supposed to roll left-to-right with the tail almost straight behind the head of the lure. The package used to have instructions printed on it. [/QUOTE]
