Crankbait techniques

[jsplinter]

Just bought some crank baits off of baitman, but i have never used them before or seen anyone that has except wally in his video. i was wondering how you guys fish them, do you lonline them from the front or back? is there a certain time of the year they work better? any advice on technique would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
josh

You're welcome and I'm sorry all at the same time. Also, I can not be held responsible for the amount of money you are about to spend.

in the archives theirs a debandit depth chart,summer is the best time in tn, usually last week of may and speed usually 1.5mph to alittle over 2mph works best for me

thanks blueball, that depth chart is in the thread that Wb sent me, I saw some guys talking about pushing the baits, but they didnt elaborate because they didnt want to jack the thread. any advice for this, i think i would rather run them from the front of the boat then the back.

if u push them u will need 2oz ,3oz weights ,too much trouble in my opinion.i pull at a 90 degree angle from the side with a 5'6'' ,9',12',14' rods,any medium action rod will work

so if i am reading this depth chart right, i would think that with enough line out, i could get a bandit 100 down 10 ft as well, is this correct?

i would stick with 200 and 300 ,if you ever decide to sell them the 100 are even hard to sell to the bass guys
