I tend to disagree it helps but not necessary to have $5000 worth of gear and crankbaits. I could bore everyone with my simple story of crankbait beginnings 7 years ago. Goes no I pilot, trolled with big motor (40 hp). Rods I hand on hand with no line counters or planers. We absolutely slayed fish first few years to the point it got to be mundane. Good read and all but never tell anyone they can't pull cranks on a budget. Cranks are fairly easy if you have roaming white crappie abundant. JM0
