Location: Madison, WI | Hey fellas,
Been away for awhile with family and work priorities. I'm going to try and get a batch of big trolling baits built for some fall trolling (just starting to give trolling a try).
I'm looking for some advice on lip angles for trolling lures. I have the shallow angle I like but was wondering more about deeper stuff.
For example what are the angles on some of the popular deep trolling cranks (scuba, deep threat, whishmaster, hose baits' slammer deep diver etc.)
Thanks in advance for any advice, I don't own any deeper musky cranks in my arsenal to use as a reference.
Best,
MS | |

Location: Money, PA | IMO, this is best achieved by trial and error...That what might work for a scuba or tuff shad may not work with your specific body shape or style. One general rule of thumb for lip angles, however, is the more vertical the lip angle (looking at it from the side) the shallower. The more horizontal the lip or parallel to the back of the bait, the deeper it will dive. Experimentaion is KEY....Good Luck | |
