Quick question new to deep water cranking 15ft to 20ft plus! When u make a cast and ur crank land do u reel fast till it hits the bottom or do u just do normal speed un till u feel hit the ground? Gor me i cant feel it hitting the bottom reeling slow from the start!

Oh by the way my setup is 10lb fc sunline sniper lews 5:4:1 n 7ft6in mh shimano crucial.. Spro little john dd

I usually never use my deep divers as I don't have water that deep, but when I do cast them, I reel for a 5-7 count very fast and then slow my speed to a normal cranking speed. You will want to get them down to their running depth quickly to maximize the time they spend in the strike zone.

That might be the case im taking my time reeling! Gonna have to go try myself on different retrieve thx

I reel the same speed my whole retrieve unless I'm doing a stop-start retrieve. I've caught a ton of fish as my bait is headed towards bottom and sometimes even on the first couple cranks when I'm over 20' of water.
