Under 7’ medium heavy/moderate rod
Look at the Dobyns Sierra line of rods. They have 3 rods that are 6'8". I am thinking that the 683 model would be great for cranks. It is listed as a med/heavy but it is more like a med. They also have one model that is lighter that would also work.

Will High Gas Prices Affect Your Fishing?
Gas prices will not affect me. I live 8 minutes from the ramp and I can see the areas I fish from the ramp for the most part. I also fish an aluminum boat.

Bad Sunline Sniper? UPDATE!!!
16# test. The line I bought had a rough kinked type of feel, not smooth at all. You could actually hold it up to the light and see the roughness. When I spooled it up, I didn't notice it. For some reason I ran my finger up the line like checking for nicks and then I felt it.

U40 Cork Sealer Changing Cork Color
All of my Dobyns and Daiwa rods were darker after sealing. Didn't really matter to me as long as its protecting the cork.

Why are crank baits so difficult?
Last year was my best year in a long time. 80% of the bass I caught was on a crankbait. Plug knocker is a must.

Bad Sunline Sniper? UPDATE!!!
Wrote to Sunline and this is their reply. Thank you for reaching out to us about your questions/issues with Sniper. We appreciate all your purchases that you've made of this line, and we have continued to use the same formula that Sniper customers are custom to. Sniper will feel different coming off a 660yd spool compared to the smaller filler spools. With more line being wrapped on top of itself on the bulk spools, it does make it feel different. It does not impact the performance of the line. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again. Sunline America Really, I have bought 660yr spools before and they never felt like the one I bought Black Friday. Again I thanks Tackle Warehouse for great customer service.

Using snap swivels for convenience
Try Tactical Anglers clips. I can take off a lure and put another on in 6-7 seconds

Using snap swivels for convenience
Same here, only a snap on trebles lures. Until last year, I was a dire hard never use a snap fisherman. Got to reading about lot of guys are using snaps so I decided to try it. Best season I ever had on cranks and I blame it on the snap. I would change lures more frequent if a certain crank or color was not working. Never had a line break or lure to come off. Snaps for me.

Bad Sunline Sniper? UPDATE!!!
Tackle Warehouse sent me a second email saying to send the bad line back for a refund or replacement. Didn't have my return label since it was last November when I bought it. Call them and they are emailing me a return. Hats off to Tackle Warehouse!!!
