Go to the Mississippi main board and click on the sticky threads at the top. There is a 1274 reply thread about pulling cranks. Basically all the info you will need. Good luck.

I fish Kansas and Missouri for the most part. I was thinking about trying trolling the bandits and or other cranks this summer.
Can i troll with my trolling motor or should i use my big motor?
What speed?
How deep of water to start in?
How much line do i put out?
Do you troll open water or by or above timber?
Am I crazy to even start this trolling thing?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance

That will tell you everything. Once you start you won't want to stop.

It's addictive AND expensive! The latter part is why I dont pull 'em.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Just go for it, it is a fun way to catch fish. And the cost is a one time thing as far as gear, other than the bandits. It is a good way to cover a lot of water fast, and you find things on the depth finder you didnt know were there. The MS board is the place to go and a great read. Good luck, start small and build it up if you like it.
Buy the BnM videos with Kent Driscoll. He is one of the best cranking guys there is!!!! He is a great fisherman, using any technique.

I use my trolling motor. I may pull anywhere between 1.5 to 2 MPH.
And, yes you are crazy to start this. I have had to quit drinking Crown and dipping snuff just so I can afford to pull crank baits.
