The other day when on Mille Lacs I got into a really good crankbait bite using a strike king 6xd in Caribbean shad , key was using 10lb line to get that bait to dive just a little deeper. Seaguar abraiz -x. If you weren’t grinding on the rocks you were not getting bit. It accounted for 9 bites and possibly could have been more. I did notice the smallies we were catching were burping up 2-4 inch forge and prior we were marking schools of bait on our 2d and DI. These fish were T-boning it. They were biting the second hook by the body. In the next couple weeks I think this bite will really take off !!!!
