April Tip Of The Month


April Tip Of The Month

Saturday, April 06, 2013


Crankbaits and baitcasting gear go together like taters and gravy, but don't rule out spinning tackle as a valuable tool for spring crankbaiting.

Some pro anglers turns to spinning tackle when the water is clear and long cast with small crankbaits are required. Using a spinning outfit makes casting small, lightweight baits into the wind much easier.

The reason are simple: Spinning reels accommodate 8 and 10 pound line, and the line comes off the spool easier and backlash free. In addition, a crankbait with a tight wiggle has a better action and runs a little deeper when fished on smaller diameter line. Heavier line restricts the action, resulting in fewer strikes.

Go for a 7-foot All Pro Rod with a medium or medium-light action; it can absorb the shock of a hard pulling big fish. Pair the All Pro Rod with a medium or large spinning reel with a big spool, and you'll reduce line twist woes.
