Minnows.

I say that some Brave Launch should hold a Opener Cup Tournament for a huge prize money and really put the pressure on these guides and pros. If the canadian only new that the Govener of Minnesota land of 10,000 lakes only caught 1 walleye they would retire fishing!

Paul is right on. I feel crawlers are a bait that is not one ones list this time of year.

Also the cranks sound pretty godd also.
