    Default Crank baits that run deeper than a bandit 300


    Any body pull any crank baits that run deeper than a 300 series.
    I know that once the thermocline sets up all we need are 200s and 300s but we are marking lost of fish 15-20 ft right now.
    looking for baits that run down there.
    Thanks.

    A 300 will run 15 ft. deep with 10 Lb. mono and 91 ft. of line out......18 ft. with 160 ft. of line out.

    .8 to 3 mph is what they say, I pull around 1.6 and find it to be spot on.

    1.5 - 2.0 mph......not a lot of difference in depth. I usually pull from 1.6- 1.8 mph

    Speed doesn't affect running depth. More line out, deeper they will run. A 300 Bandit will get down to 20' or more with enough line out.
