Not to hijack, but CJB do you really fish that many crankbaits from the shore or at all for that matter?
Yeah, I am a crank bait fanatic. Particularly ultra light ones. I am still amazed at how big a fish will nail a little 1.5" crank bait. I also do a lot of fishing for trout in streams. Those little minnow and insect imitating crankbaits are great for that situation. I use crankbaits in finesse situations, when they are slowed down they work quite well, particularly the suspending models.
