What was old, is new again. Love how that works. I still have a collection of 10 POE's from the 90's. When I marked fish at 20-25 ft.., I would add small pieces of lead tape to them to go even deeper. Won many mid summer tournaments that way. Add even more weight and slow the retrieve for winter time ledge fishing.
4.7 or 5.1 ( with no anti-reverse) for us old school deep crankers.. exceptional feel …..when you were a young buck , 6.1 was super high speed …… Hard to explain to a generation that never experienced no anti - reverse reels….they were outstanding for deep crankbaits. You really had those fish fired up on the DT-14 … Since they no longer make the Bagley DB3, or the Norman DD14. The Rapala DT 14 shines. Rob
Modern lake fishing is so alien to me, I've never used a fish finder, my dad had one that broke and he never fixed it so it was all by the look of the water. I haven't really lake fished in years, I kayak rivers and creeks mostly. Catch more fish than I ever did on lakes.
It’s a lot of fun , using sides can and topo maps to narrow down ideal offshore spots is like a game or a puzzle that’s always changing based on the fish
Buck Perry was right again! Deeper digging for the fish produces. For a video that wasn’t constructed in post-production to be a tutorial, this one offers a good number of tips. I like the suggestions about hooks, and adjusting brightness of lures as the water stains. Two other strong points are the ability to know the depth at which your lures run. That is a very useful tool. The focus on structure, versus “throwing to cover,” is another key point here. Basically, this is intercepting the fish in their sanctuary areas, before they ever come to the cover we usually look for. And while electronics has taken the place of active trolling to locate fish, it’s still true that open water and bottom structure situations like this are not comfort zones for the average angler. This video goes some way to providing encouragement along those lines. This is a good video to keep in the library. Thank you very much. David SC
Buck perry was not right, '' deeper digging '' does not necessarily always produce fish...and no evidence ever that fish live in and come up from '' sanctuaries ''.
Exactly, he was wrong on the reel speed selection. I use a reel with the most efficient speed according the type lure I'm using, like for a no lip crankbait I want a fast reel, for a deep diver I want, of course, a slower reel.

Yep, it's all cyclical! Thanks for sharing the deets on your old Poe setup. Solid crankbaits that probably still catch them as good as ever.

Great video !! As always !
Thanks Glenn. Bob is a pretty interesting guy to listen too. Lot's of thought behind what he does.

Our pleasure. We always enjoy hearing from the Buck Perry students out there! His legacy lives on.

Good stuff Bob! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
Do you guys typically deep crank 1st thing in the morning after the rain ?
Amazing 👍👍👍😇
If you prefer to use higher speed gear ratios just crank slowly for crankbaits, deep diving crankbaits, and square bills.
It's difficult to burn a crank bait with a low speed reel

The best bass is The peacock bass. Black bass is lasy
I'm just trying to understand why you keep pumping the rod that's literally how you create leverage for them to throw the hook
Soooo, Change your hooks. Hooks hooks hooks
