I am looking for trolling cranks that react well to high speeds, and run 5-8' down on a 20' lead or so.  i really would like to get some of the newer handmade ones as I want to try something different than the everday beleivers, jakes etc.  I am also looking for a couple white(white tiger too) straight model floating Shark crankbaits from river run tackle.  Feel free to email me, as I do not check this board very often.

I heard those catch big fish, I talked to yon about wednesday, don't know if you heard about his rod holder snapping or not,
kinda sucks he lost the fish but got the pole back. Good luck finding one.

These guys have some high speed rated trolling baits.... Kinda expensive... but I found a few on ebay .... under Novak in a fishing search...... Might want to look into them .... Awesome action!!! 16 ft at 60 yards....
so might be around 5-8 at 20???.......

G-man sent me an amazing 14" crank he made - looks lots like a huge Jake and it runs great.

Reef Hawg, check out ebay and hawaiisbest60's stuff. He makes some big cranksbaits and smaller ones too. Hey., don't forget about sledges, they will do their thing at that speed. Tuff shads will do it too.
