Trolling crankbaits

[bigarm]

Is trolling or pushing crankbaits allowed in the tournaments? Bandits or Rebel style crankbaits. Thanks for the info

Yes they are, as long as you stay within the rules. No more than 3 poles per person or 6 per boat with more then one person, and no more than 2 baits per pole

If you were to use cranks, you would only be able to have one treble on each bait if you were to try and run a two on one pole. If you're just using one bait, you can leave both treble hooks or whatever combo you prefer.

Big fish caught on your home lake the year before last was caught on a crank. Not kidding. Worked for me...

Still learning new techniques after a couple events last year.....with the idea of spider rigging this year, I have to ask if the events allow more than six rods in the boat per team? I know each person can only fish three lines but can other rods be on the boat for other types of fishing styles for quick switch over.

Yes your allowed any number of poles in the boat you want. However your only allowed to fish with three per person at a time. State Law!

This is new one on me!!some cranks have 3 hooks and they are legal so why do i or should i take a hook off when the crank comes with multi hooks

Thanks for the clarification....it wasn't state law that confused me rather the written language on the rules and regs page of the club. The wording that actually seems most confusing is..." There is also a maximum rod limit of 6 poles per boat (even with 2 members and 1 youth fishing together)." Maybe it is just me! If not it might be worth a minor revision. Anyways, it is good to know. Thanks again.
