Crankbait pulling question

[drfish]

Those of you who pull cranks what type rod do you use. Not brand names but what length, weight, and action.

My trolling rods are medium action..8.5ft telescopic handle..rated for 10-20lb line..I use 10# mono. Most of my trolling is w/inline boards, they will long line equally well. If you want specifics, ask away. 5

Strategically placed rod holders. Most of us have multiple bases for our holders so we can move them around. I have 6 pairs of bases for my HiTek holders.

4 driftmaster t-bars systems. Adjust the individual rod holders on the bars. Push 4 up front and pull 6 out back. However, pulling and pulling un-tangled are 2 different things! Lol

Mostly, when pulling longline, I use a pair of each, 8's, 10's, and 12's, all BGJP's. Pushing I use, a pair of each in 6'6" triggers, 9' Wally marshall Med Heavy, and 11' wally marshall Med Heavy. When doing both I use 4 up front and the 6 out the rear sides. If I go straight out the back O use 4 @ 6'6" and whatever else I feel I can manage with the skill level of my guest.

7.5-9.0 ft long, varies brands all moderate action, power rating doesn't really matter as long as line test goes from 8 or 10 lb to 17+ lb (most are medium or medium heavy (with a few ML and few H) but power ratings are very arbitrary).
