often use a 7:1 - it is harder to use. Sometimes there are some extra things you can do to get an extra bite when you are fishing deep crankbaits. You can add feathers to your hooks. add them to the front or the back or both. if you have got the fish activated and they are biting, but then it stops, just change color and try a color change. You can add Suspend dots to your crankbait. These will make the crankbait suspend more and also have a gradual rise compared to coming up fast. lead wrapping on your treble hooks is another customization you might try. Making your hooks red can also trigger an extra bite. You can color them or dye them or just change them out with Gamakatsu red hooks. i use round bend treble hooks in size 2.
