mostly square bills, ranging from 3/8-5/8.

What would be the highest gear ratio reel you guys would suggest? I was wondering if it would be overkill to use a core 6.2:1 or a team lews 6.4:1? Everything that I read seems to say that the more shallow the crank, the faster gear you can use? Anything else you would reccomend?

Thanks! I'm gonna try to make the trip down Friday afternoon.

Minnow- whats the name of that tackle store in S.Jersey? Id love to take a trip

What colors? Most of the advice I got suggested was to go with natural colors (watermelons and pumpkins). Ive gotten a few with those tones. But, where i spend most of time fishing the bass completely crash the Blue Pearl w/black and hologram flake 5in Senkos.

Thanks Sam, didnt even think about the nail polish. Im Spending a lot of time trying to out smart that pea sized opponent. IM going to have try to find some of the Norman Lures.

just ordered a few of the kvd 2.5 and waiting to see how they perform. most of where im throwing them is pretty shallow and full of vegetation (pita). any of you guys ever go for any of the handmade (balsa/cedar) cranks you can find online?

Ive picked up a few from different companies but I was wondering if you guys had your favorites and what they were? Seems like the KVD series is popular and Rapala is the most advertised and available. Personally, I used a sebile crankster this past weekend and loved it. Real good movement and was easy to cast out there. Just trying to get your opinions, thanks!

just grabbed a cranking rod, a crucial m/h. looks like im going to try my luck in crankbaits. thanks for all of your advice

can cranks or jigs be effective in bank fishing? its kind of tough to hide a boat from the wife! ive been throwing senkos and doing well, id like to have another set up that i can be a little less patient. ive been reading up and watching videos, just want to make sure that the next setup i choose will be effective for largemouths from the bank.

Im a complete newbie! Ive been lurking for a while on here though and Ive learned a ton. Trying to learn a specific style at a time. Ive been throwing senkos for the past 2 months and have had good success, feel pretty confident. Im ready to expand and im not sure where to go next. Thinking about cranks or jigs? Any thoughts or suggestions? (Im only fish from the bank right now) Im also going to get a new bc reel and rod but Im waiting so it fits with the technique. Thanks for all of your input!
