If Steady, straight retrieve is all OP is using IRL he is missing out on a hell of a lot of fish. I seldom if ever used a steady retrieve IRL with crankbait or anything else.

ATM using a steady retrieve might be so said 'underpowered' but that doesnt mean that the other techniques shouldn't work, because they most definetly do. I hope the OP realizes that with crankbaits you can use any technique, and depending on the situation and type of fish some are more efficient than others. Issue is that cranks should only be working while moving, so, reeling in, at constant speed should be the optimal way to use the lure.īut in some cases, mostly California, you get way more strikes, on a crank that is dead in the water.Įxcept that in IRL using stop&go or twitching with a crankbait is a very efficient way to catch fish. Purple narrow spoon, spinners, shads and shiners.Originally posted by waznewz:Think you misunderstand OP. Make sure to take equipment that can cast far but not too heavy, the fish aren't big there. Oregon is also a good map, trout pay well and give good XP. Shiners, minnows and shrimp are good baits. 14g medium spoon, bass jigs, casting spoons and 1m crankbait are great lures. The snook, red drum, gar and bowfin do not pay well in terms of credits, but the bass and tarpon are good for credits.

It is a great location with many different pegs and also very large fish at the Salty Delta. There are no fish over 3kg.įlorida is very profitable too but you must stay for a few days because travel and license fees are so high. Take a light but far casting spinning rod such as the Elemental.

Purple narrow spoon, black shads, casting spoons and shiners are key. However, it is a small lake and casting to the same spots can get boring fast. Technically, New York is the most profitable, because it costs only ~3300 with advanced license and you can catch walleye and pike, which are almost 200 credits / kg.
