[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 160256, member: 282"] I totally agree with sub on the tuning thing... [URL="http://1source.basspro.com/index.php/all-videos/109-bass-pro-shops-1source/video/1740-kvd-shows-you-how-to-super-tune-a-crankbait"]KVD super tuning crankbaits[/URL] guy, my go to cranks in sakakawea have been the flicker minnows and reef runners, but I have had really good luck on walley divers, storm smash shads, clackin raps, shadow raps, deep tail dancers, and salmos, my tackle box is sickening but most cranks will get the job done some days one or 2 outperform but overall reef runners are probably my favorite, 1 out of 100 reef runners will be tuned out of the box. I just hang the crank over the side of the boat and tune it until it swims straight at the speed I am going, if I see that I am digging bottom real hard I will usually pull it up and recheck my tune, rocks and trees will take them out of tune. Be sure to use the 4' rule with your rods also, 4' from rod tip to rod tip, so if you have a 8' rod you need a 4' or 12' on that same side [/QUOTE]
