Guys,
I have been slowly buying rods, cranks and all the other necessary equipment to try my hand this summer at pulling cranks. Can anyone give any pointers as to a general rule of thumb for how much line to let out, what depths to target, and what speeds to pull by. I understand its all based on conditions but just looking for a basic starting point. I have never attempted this before. My plan was to target Shelbyville and Clinton lakes.

A person should learn something new every day!
Run each rod different to start. Stagger depths from 40ft. of line out to 80ft. When a fish hits run line out 15ft. each way of what he hit. Narrow it down from there. Same with colors start with all different ones. Darker early lighter as sun comes up.. Good luck
I push and have success. Better depth control...easier turns...not worried about someone running across my lines out back. Each their own.

Can you use bottom bouncers to pull cranks?

Probably if you didn't let them hit bottom. All you need is a 2 or 3oz. weight. About 2/3 of line out is approximate depth.
I use 3 and 4 ounce weights. run 1.8 and figure around 75% , that is 20 ft out 15 ft deep
