RE: Let's talk crankbaits..
just a little tip, if you are fishing cover, snip off the front running hook on each treble. It has minimal effect on the balance, but does indeed reduce hang ups. also, square bills deflect off objects, instead of run into them. I do all of my crankbait fishing with a 7'6" composite rod, and i use the rod to feel the lure through hangups, and the reel just takes up the slack... just like fishing a worm.
