What rod and also what reel are you using?
What LB test line.
Do you throw both baits with same rod reel set up?
Thanks

Dobyns Champion 805
Lews BB1 5-1 gear ratio
15 # Invizx
Yes
I hear the Champion 806 is a good one for these crank baits but it was not out when I got the 805.
I use a Duckett 7-11 and the same Lews reel for throwing the 6XD and smaller cranks.

Dobyns 806 is a great choice for those baits.. You can make a bomb of a cast with it

If you buy Dobyns only keep it two years then sell it. The eyes never last and end up cutting your line. I had it happen on 2 Dobyn rods I purchased.

I use the Dobyns 805 CB but really want a 806 for the bigger DD crankbaits. I use a Johnny Morris signiture series reel in I think 5.1:1 ratio. It depends on where I'm fishing, but I use Big Game in 10-15lb. test. I mostly use 12lb., but Big Game is cheap enough to change it out as needed.

I was hoping that someone would chime in that had used a BPS Cranking Stick for these.
I have used two of them for square bill and medium depths up to bout 12' and they did a good job.
Just not sure how they would be on those really big crank baits.

I have an old Curado 3.8:1 and use Big Game 12lb. mono.

For you guys using 12lb do you have to take it easy casting or do you just heave away?

sponsored by Photo Bucket LLC I'm thinking Nate is probably right.
