Great Tool! 50 Muskie Cranks tested, and documented in an
awesome 6 1/2 inch spiral bound, water proof paper, book. He used a scuba diver as the method for determining running depth.
I have been in touch with the author, Mike Ryan, who is gong to include some things I asked about in the second edition (Monel Wire data and lead weighting data). He wanted to know what other lures we would want tested for inclusion in the 2nd edition.
I am posting, with his permission, his table of contents and an example of the data. Any lures not seen here that you would be interested in seeing in the second edition, let me know.
His website is http://www.muskytrollingsecrets.com/

Great info Archie. I have a few suggestions, but specifically would love to know about the BK (I guess I could use Wiley's - probably not much of a difference) and smaller Wiley's. 🙂
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
