Twins 57 Fan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 What are the different speeds everyone uses for cranks? Last night i tried 1.8 to around 2.5 mph. When i was trolling a small X-Rap last night it didn't really seem like I could feel the wobble very well and I was cruising at around 2.3. Is that normal? My bigger cranks seemed to give me great feel. Hit me up. Twnsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 This time of year I am under 2 mph, probably even under 1.8 mph and down to 1.5 mph or less. Smaller baits and stick bait don't put out as much wobble. Depends on your equipment too, a sensitive graphite rod and no-stretch braid will trasnmit a lot more viabration than other setups will. I got a couple nice walleyes on x-raps last night at 1.6 to 1.7 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twins 57 Fan Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 how big were your x-raps?Is bigger always better in the fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I prefer to use large batis in the fall but experiment to see what works. My x-raps are #10's, I like that size bait plus they run good in 4-7 foot depths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-Ball Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Slow down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanger29 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I agree, SLOW is work'n. I've also started stopping for between 5 & 10 seconds. Little early for the longer pauses but shorter have proven themselves. Also,earlier I had been having success with #8 huskys & X-raps but the last few nights started slow'n down a bit. I had upsized to #10 and agree that currently that's where it's at 4 me. Brighter colors in evening & darker in mornings and day have paid out as well.
