Thread: Long Lining and Pulling Cranks

I used mostly Spyderlok rod holder part s, but did add a 68" aluminum bar to create the bridge.
6 rods, with 12' rods, I can cover 30'.
I normally use 2 ounce weights on inside 2, improves the line separation angles.

Is that setup good for pulling cranks and long lining?

I run twelve poles when I have people with me and eight when I am alone. My front poles that I use are B&M and start with 14' then 12' and finally 10'. My back poles are all 6'. I angle them most of the time so they are at least 2' apart to prevent tangles. (still happens though) I run 1/32 ounce jiffy jigs and add split shots to get to whatever depth I need. I use 6 lb test line and pull them very slow. Wind is the biggest enemy. I have been doing it this way for 20 years and catch a ton of crappie. It takes time to learn so you don't get lines tangled but that is part of the deal. I could care less that I break off jigs a lot. The way I see it if I am not getting hung up i am not putting the jigs where the crappie are. Last year a buddy and me had nine fish on at one time at Taylorsville Lake and that made for a great time. That is a great problem to have to have to many fish on at one time. God help me if they ever pass a law limiting amount of poles I can use.
