What Biggz said. Cooler with an aerator. I got one at walmart for 20 bucks. I haven't got anything on a jerkbait yet. As far as crankin goes you just gotta try different depths until you start catching them. I'll start with the shallow runners and work my way down
Shawn do you post up close to shore and starting running the shallow baits? With a KVD 1.5 I have to imagine in order to get the deflection bites you'd have to be in 5 feet of water max in order for it to bounce off the bottom. Once there are no hits do you switch to an eight foot diver and move that much further out from shore?
