Stop into Happy Hooker and they will let you know what colors are working right now. Pretty soon you'll be pulling spoons or spinners if not already. I do like pulling cranks, but it's only 15% of the amount of time I troll as spoons and spinners will put alot more fish in the boat over the season. DDHJ's and RR's early spring and late fall. I know some nice fish were taken yesterday on spinners/harnesses. 50 deg water temp is when I'll start running both and let the walleye tell me which they want. Some guys do run RR year round and do OK. I've never had that type of success. I run off-shore boards with church releases and a rubberband for the tattle flag. For me I like the way they pull more to the outside. As one of my fishing partners runs both on his boat so I have experience with both.
