Will the crank bait affect the dive curve of the lure?
Hey zipper, I have pondered the same question and tried to find an answer at several forum sites. All
I found was best guesses. You would think adding 4 colors of lead core to the 100 of line (mono or braid) would do the trick ,
but the angle of the curve would have to have some effect on the depth. I'm afraid that it would take some serious computer work or dragging that line combo in 50 feet of water till you hit bottom. Then you would know for sure. Please post your results if you ever get a true answer.
