Seems like that is what they want around here lately, if your bait is not digging into the bottom they are not interested.

I need to find some of the 30 + baits. The DD 22 works as long as I kneel and reel with an 8 ft rod all the way in the water, but thats a hard position to fish from and left my knees and back sore. Thinking about trying smaller, thinner line and posibly adding some weights a few few feet in front of the bait.

Just a thought, but what if you used a 3/4 oz rattle trap type lure, cast it out and let sink to the bottom. Then start a slow retrieve like slow rolling a spinnerbait with occational pauses and jerks? I would think that would be similar to a large deep crankbait working the bottom.

Good info Pro. That’s one of the reasons I like Rapalas Crankin Rap. Fishing it with the thin braid I use lets it get down way deeper than with mono or fluorocarbon. But the real ticket is it’s a different crank…..a lot smaller than the DT-20’s that are being pulled along some of the ledges and creek channels I’m fishing. Easier on my arms too.
