Reaction strikes seemed to be the name of the game for lures moving at a steady fast walk in a straight line. Forage fish don't swim that way nor any forage animal for that matter.
Another question: I haven't used crankbaits with treble hooks in years but when a decent crappie was caught, while trying to unhook it, I got a hook stuck in my finger past the barb which I had to rip out with pliers. How do you unhook crappies or any panfish with 2 sets of treble hooks?
