    Default Input please! New to pulling cranks!


    In light of everyone posting pictures of the great success they've had pulling cranks I've decided to give it a go. Problem being I need some advice on a line counting solution. I will be using power pro 15/4. I'm using this specific line because it is the same diameter as the Berkley fire line used in the precision trolling guide. I'm also using spinning reels. I will upgrade my gear once I learn how to get it done with my current set up. I just don't want to drop all that coin before I get my feet of the ground. Thanks! Also, any other advice it's welcomed!

    If you don't want to buy line counter reels I suppose you could mark your line every ten FT. Hardly ever have more thans 100ft. back. 50 to 80 is about normal.

    Depth hunter, my bad. It is 4 different colors and then starts over, each color is 25 feet long with a white mark every 5 feet. I put 200 feet on each of my spinning reels, spooling them all the same so as not to be confused.

    Rees, slabo, bow and Wilbur thank you all! I'm going to try to make due with what rigs I have at the moment here at a few nice local lakes. Once I get the hang of it then I will grab a few magda 15x's before I head down south early July. Just dropped 50 on Bandits but I'm going to look on that Chinese site for some cheapos right now!
