This season I really worked hard to learn to crank fish.  It actually paid off nicely!  I ended up having one of my best years ever.  I for the most part used relatively shallow diving cranks!  I did really well with the Bomber model A, LuckyCraft Flat Mini, Strike King as big as a Num 6 and some bandits.  This year I want to add to my cranking and learn to crank deep!  I have had several friends tell me to buy hot lips.  Does anyone else have any suggestions?  Thank you all!

Norman's DD22 is an excellent deep water crankbait and I understand that Rapala now has a DT 20 out.

Talk to Marty. He has some in the 25 foot range. Size the reel ratio and rod to the cranks or it will work you hard.

DD22 and Lucky Craft 20s are my best producers and I do a lot of deep cranking during the summer.

Jackall Muscle Deep is another good choice, I would also recomend the Rapala DT series, Norman DD 22. I 've been hearing good things about the Bandit 700 series, I'm thinking of picking up a few for next season.

Love the DD22. Also, Bagley's original DB3. You need to really muscle them out there since they are balsa but they have that backward float up action that fish can't seem to resist. Haven't tried too many others as these seem to work for me.
