I am having these issues with crankbaits ... I use an E T I orion shallow diver and love that fish are biting this lure . I have lost fish in and out of the water though !!!! according to what I have read so far my Shimano is fine (rod) and the sweep is good ... line maybe ? I have 8lb mono (trilene) and I put new hooks on . Also I can tell when a fish is going to jump in the daytime by the action of the line.. but nightfishing I lose my bearing . Had one jump last night and that was it !! the fish hit the water and a second or two later the crankbait came flying back at me .... I am not trying to hijack this thread ... Please PM me I need some help too .
