[font "Calibri"]My two cent would be to always run a good quality snap lock on your cranks; it helps the action of your lure more than anything else, plus it makes for quicker bait change. Second, troll with a line counter reel. At Willard where the water is so shallow and so murky you need to have proper bait placement to have consistent action. When you buy your Rapalas it will give you a general running depth. That is based on boat speed, line diameter, and line out off your reel. The line counter lets me know right were my bait is running at all times.[/font]

[font "Calibri"]Just last Friday the fish was holding right at 6-9 feet. That being said I was able to run my crank at to 85’ then tie into my planer board and it was 7 fish on. Yet my second pole running the same bait at 65’ feet and then again out to 100’ only picked up one fish. Sometimes it all about the little details.[/font]
[font "Calibri"]I bought two line counter combos from Cabela’s, loved them so much I went back and picked up two more for my wife. The Daiwa AccuDepth 17LC has a very nice drag plus when set up with the 8’6” DMPB86M planer board rod is perfect for all my trolling needs, which include downrigger Macs and Salmon up at the Gorge.
