Make a difference how ? Longer casts, More accurate casts, Better hook sets, Last longer, Handles better, Better impact & knot strength, More abrasion resistance, Less stretch, More stretch, More fish, bigger fish ~ ? ? ? The clear line you've been using literally the whole time to catch many 7lb bass within a years time seems to be working well. I'd like to ask - what is this high performing product ? A-Jay

During open water, I'll change it up every hour or so. During hard water, I'll space it out a bit longer . . perhaps only once or twice a month. A-Jay

So be between 5/8, 6/8 & 7/8 ? Can't see where an 1/8 or even a 1/4 would make that much of a difference. A-Jay

In a effort to find out what I liked to crank with, I've purchased & fished fiberglass, graphite & composite rods. I've also played around with different lines including mono, co-poly, fluorocarbon & braid. After a ton of trial & error, I've come up with this - For me, the most versatile cranking set up is a composite rod & braided line (with a mono leader). If I'm fishing shallow & not in grass or weeds sometimes I'll go with an oversized mono to help keep the bait up in the water column; otherwise, it's braid. The Braid offers a decent hookset and the semi soft rod helps land the bass. The lack of sensitivity that is one of the trade offs of a composite blank is partially regained by using the braided line. I use a QUANTUM TOUR KVD SIGNATURE SERIES TKVD746MA 7'4" MEDIUM HEAVY CRANK BAIT ROD for shallow to mid depth (like down to 10 - 12 feet) and a QUANTUM TOUR KVD SIGNATURE SERIES TKVD7106MA 7'10" MEDIUM HEAVY CRANK BAIT ROD for the deeper stuff. These are not super expensive rods but they do what I need them to do and they do it well. Finally & just for the record, Many of the largest bass I've ever caught (over 7lbs) were landed with a graphite rod & mono - because that's what worked best at that time & at that place. So there's always options - I'd urge you to find what works best for how & where you fish. A-Jay

During conditions that were unusual & much more challenging than most expected, he fished hard, made the right decisions and some critical adjustments. Had his water all to himself & boated the ones that bit. Third year in a row a local angler got it done. Congratulations Edwin Evers. A-Jay
