Default Question on Tadpole use on Lake Erie

Remember tadpoles are very speed dependent, use a #3 with 140 ft of line out at 2mph and you are down 30, bump it up to 3mph and you're only down 18. That's a pretty big swing for 1 mph.

I also use spinners or spoons. Cranks have to be shallow runners, divers don't work at all. If you want to use cranks deep then you got to go snap weights as has been mentioned.
Thank for all the information and tips
