If you put your crankbait on a spinning rod, spooled with about 8lb test, you can throw
it twice as far and get it a little deeper than with a bait caster. A little Bill Norman, or a
Bandit, maybe even a Model A Bomber would be about the right size. Andy and I have worked this pattern for several years now this time of year. It works up at Stockton and
Pomme too. The further from the dam the better.
