Don't mind zooker, he just hasn't evolved enough yet rotfl. I use it for my cranks. The upside is the feel of the cranks, it allows you to get deeper(50lb powerpro has 12lb mono diameter). The downside is you definately need a medium rod, with a soft tip, and make sure your drag is loose. You can pull the hooks out if you don't play the fish. But guess what, you can do that with mono toooooooooooooooo. Oh yeah you be surprised at how many cranks you get back too. May have some bent trebbles, but you get it back LOL,

KB,
I spent thousand of hours Skiing on Lake Shafer , and very few fishing it. If I knew then what I know now, then it would have been the opposite. But I did have a lot of greatd times there, with a broken rib or two LOL. My sister and family still share a place up there with all my Bro-In-Laws family. Lizards

i use sufix braid with cranks and hardly ever lose a fish.use a soft tip graphite rod and loosen the drag at the boat and you'll have no problems.

fly swatter is right. even when i take pitures i snap it quickly put the camera in my pocket and speed draw my pliers. pop the hooks out and back in the drink 30 seconds flat.. i had a nice 3 pound bass bleed on me sunday- like a stuck pig- i put him in the live well with some rejuvinate left him in there for and hour and let him go.. he was raising cane in the live well... took me 20 mintues to get the blood washed off my boat,rods,ect....
the whole point is to release a LIVE fish. not a half cooked one.. if you sit down and it burns yuor butt what do you think it will do to a fish.. SOONIERS pht!!! zooker
