    crankbait question

    What crank would ya'll recommend for fishing a large dead head 9-12 feet deep, in stained to murky water? Also, what type of equipment? Which type action rod? I am currently using a cara t7 medium 4 power rod with a Pflueger 5.2to 1 reel with 12 pound seagaur flouro. I have caught several fish off of this deadhead, some big and some small, anywhere from 2 pounds to 6 pounds. I have used jigs on the bottom, banging against the wood, and cranks in and around the trunk of this tree. Any info would be much preciated. Oh yeah the rod is 7 foot long . Also, what color crank during the day and evening? I would ask what color for morning but I have to work

    So whats the problem? Your gear sounds good to me. What cranks have you been catching them on? Also I would try a 10-12" dark colored worm at night.

    Re: crankbait question (medicpelle)

    bomber crank can't remember what model its a square bill with a wide wobble yellow and torquise. It only dives 3 ft, but with the 12 pound flouro, it probally goes deeper. I am thinking of spooling up with 17 pound mono. 12 pound flouro in the woods, can sometimes make me nervous!
