Submerged Structure trees and ledges in 15-25 ft throwing a 3/4 Luhr Jensen Hot Lips express

When throwing a crank in trees...how do you NOT get hung up? I just throw plastic worms and STILL get hung.

An old timer once told me if you aren't getting hung up your fishing in the wrong place! You're gonna get hung up there's nothing you can do about it, that's why you see so many people say carry a knocker. When you feel the rod load up just slow it down and walk the bait over the tree, when I feel it come over the limb I either kill it or burn it. Sometimes I'll just burn it through the trees, you'll get hung up more but you're also more likely to get a reaction strike

7' med action rod, 10lb line, plug knocker close by, throw in same areas you'd throw your crig, trigs and jigs. If your bumpin into stuff and getting hung up occasionally, you're doin it right. All good info. :-)

As mentioned above, you need to be banging into stuff if possible. I would tell you that most of my strikes around cover come after I've run into something.

If you get hung up, let your crank sit on slack line for 10 seconds to see if it will float up and off. If not, to the butt slap and the line pop. Still nothing, drop down the $10 plug knocker (I like the one with the little chains on it) and smack the lure off that way.

Run into stuff..... it's okay! LOL

Good luck guys.

Informative Video thanks for sharing!

that knocker will pay for itself with the 2nd crank you save

That's true! Didn't think of it that way. Good advice. I'm still learning.

Thanks for all of your videos and help man. I appreciate them.
