Cranking laydown tress has long been regarded
as a secret trick of the Pros, but is a fairly easy technique to master. The first step is having the right type of crankbait
that will work well coming thru and over limbs and trunks. I have designed my CP1C and CP2C specifically for this purpose.
The next trick is the retrieve. Many anglers will throw out and start reeling as they would when throwing in open water, they
will then hit a limb, set the hook and hang up the lure. You must crawl the bait thru the cover and when you hit something,
slow down your retrieve. If a fish has hit your bait, you will feel the difference and can then set the hook. Also, make sure
you "line up" with the tree prior to making your cast so that you can bring your bait along the tree or log. Minimum
line strength for this technique would be 15 lb. test with many anglers opting to use 20 or 25 lb. test.
