Luke V. Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Was fishing on Erie as I do every weekend. Throwing cranks. Specifically a Clanking rap in Perch Pulled it out of the package brand new. Inspected the hooks, all seemed good. Throw the bait 4-5 times, landed a smallie around 1.5 pounds. Keep throwing it. Get a good 4 pounder on, get it near the boat to net it. As i reach for the net (was by myself) it jumps and comes off. No biggy I thought. Until I noticed my rear trebble was missing. Then on closer inspection the hook ring was missing too. Anyone have this happen to them? I have been using similar style cranks for a few years. Never seen this happen before. What hook rings do you use? Thanks, Tight Lines Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke V. Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I just looked at their website. They seem to have some very nice stuff. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 How heavy of line were you using? The split rings should be good for up to 10lb line. Maybe you just had a bad split ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke V. Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I am running 20lb power pro. And i just re spooled the reel. Im think that it was just a bad split ring. Seems like ill be getting some new ones, and spending the afternoon changing out most of them:whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 On a side note the current FLW walleye magazine had an article where they had x-rayed 20 of the most popular body baits used by walleye anglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
