[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 175954, member: 337"] I have learned - in my short 30 day crank trolling career, that you also need to check hooks and hook attachments as well - not just the nose-eye angle. It seems that they have to be pristine all around in order for them to run true - and flickers seem the finickiest. A single bent hook of the three on a treble can throw things off. As well as a rotated or bent front hook attachment eye on a flicker for instance. Also - using a large quicksnap on a smaller crank is asking for tuning headaches. Devil is in the details with tuning cranks IMO. Once you get that hammered into your head it's pretty easy peasy. [/QUOTE]
