    I could (and have) throw a crankbait all day and catch 0 and come home happy. Love cranking.
    Side note. Those olu kai flip flops are the best flip flop I’ve ever owned.
    I’ve had a pair for 8 years
    Wear them all summer on and off boat. They hold up like a champ.

    I'm in exceptional shape for my age, but couldn't throw a medium diver for 15 minutes. KVD and those power anglers are out of my league. How did Iaconelli do it? Well, he was 25-35 years younger than I.

      @@leeclack4121 Congrats on your tourney fishing, Lee. I put enough pressure on myself to catch bass without the added stress of tourneys. I'll be 75 this year but I can do 16-18 chinups and about 12 pull ups, so for short periods, I'm above average, but cranking with spinning gear is a killer. I don't like baitcasting reels. Tight lines!

    • @billljones979
      @billljones979 7 місяців тому +2

      From watching him, he mostly cranks with a low 5.1 gear ratio,
      Sometimes he goes to a 6.1, but I think he main reel he uses is his signature and that's a 5.3.1 I think,
      But he cranks everything fast , but he believes that, that's the perfect ratio for the 6xd, 10 xd,
      So he reels so fast that's why he uses less gear ratio
