[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 468475, member: 23059"] Every lure has a speed at which it runs best. Too slow, and it won't reach maximum depth. Too fast, and it breaks loose and runs on it's side or spins. Most run best between 1.5 and 3.5 mph. 5-10 mph is way too fast for nearly every crankbait. If you troll for long periods with the TM, you better have lots of battery power. This may not be much help but, back in 1989, pro walleye angler Mike McClelland, wrote a short book called "Crankbaits A Guide To Casting & Trolling Depths of 200 Popular Lures" The book is out of date and out of print. Many of the 200 lures he tested are no longer made and many current lures came out after it was published. All testing was done with mono lines as braided and FC lines were not in use back then. If you can find a copy, it's worth a read. [/QUOTE]
