Is this a stupid idea and a waste of time - Picture Chart

A big advantage to start out with is that if you follow the rules(line size and weights) Precision Trolling puts you in the drivers seat right off the bat. You have to organize the way you can understand, but start knowing what you need for a certain depth and go from there. Bob

Yes sir, I do have the app, its just my organization was a train wreck Sorting it out different now by depth ranges vs brands and making my graphic for the boxes for a quick reference more for inventory purpose now with some sizes depths and my notes. Its hard to remember what they all are and some don't even put the names on them and can't remember them all and lots of Rapalas just say Rapala on it.

Well, that's a point. I do have both apps now, too, which I think are a definite improvement in this regard.

I think it's a pretty neat idea, bb!

BB,
Incorrect question.

There is no such thing as a stupid question.

There is no such thing as a Waste of time.

Having said that, if you have an idea of labeling and sorting crank baits that appeal to you, go for it.

It makes 0 difference to you what others think about the idea. Your baits, your boat - your choice.

Have a wonderful day.

As I work through this project here is a great example. No name or markings on this ? Anyone that can tell me what it is and who makes it.

Thank You

Thanks for the great supportive words! You have a great and wonderful day also.

My guess on the lure (if it was recently purchased) is a Lindy River Rocker or Heddon Tadpoly. These are the most recent iterations of a lure style that I think started out in the 60's.

That's definitely a Lindy River Rocker. They're no longer made but they definitely catch walleyes.
Lindy made some great walleye cranks. The Lindy Shadling, Lindy Walleye Demon and the Lindy Rally Fish aren't made any longer either and they all caught fish. I still have a number of all of them.

Thanks for the feedback, I was getting ready to toss them and after another person posted Lindy I googled them and found discontinued and wondered why. Now I will give them a try.

Thx
