    I have decided this year I am going to do more trolling for walleyes and was wondering for starters what would be your first 6 cranks purchased.

    I mainly fish the Mississippi river from Red Wing down.

    TIA Jeff

    Flicker shads are a very good crankbait for the money. Fleetfarm has 3 packs for $10.99. Goldfish has been my go to color and hasnt let me down yet!

    Flicker Shads have been putting fish in my boat lately. Firetiger, clown and pearl white have been good colors.
