Thread: Going to try something new !

Looks like you have a plan.

I too am going to try and do some pulling but probably more beetlespins and curly tail jigs to start and I have 3 rodholders on back of my toon and will put two more on outsides and that's enough to start. But still I am a single pole jigger who lives for the thump primarily and can still jig the docks and have success so we shall see.

Bymo and I have pulled cranks a few times with some success on his last boat but it wasn't my favorite way o ketchn.

But have seen the incredible success robbie and his dad have had at Mark twain and how they were rigged so it is out there for us to pursue.

I am pretty much a handyman so I am trying to keep cost down & building me own rod holders. I ordered a few pico cranks to get started. I'm wondering how I tell what speed I need to be going to pulling these & how much line I want out. I know locally Cevans seems to be a pro at this. I know this can get expensive to get into but what can't these days. Thanks for any help.

Like yourself I am also about to venture into pushing cranks for crappies. And like yourself, I’ve always enjoyed Working a jig for them while drifting. You and I are fortunate to have knowledgeable anglers a.k.a. crappie specialist, share their information with us. A willingness to share knowledge is The true measure of what constitutes being a great fisherman, IMHO. If you wanna learn anything about crappie fishing this website has no equal where educational value is concerned.
