    Default Pulling Bandit 200's


    I have the depth chart and am getting set up for pulling this summer. Question I have is I use 15 pound Power Pro braid which is 4 pound mono diameter. Does anyone have any idea how much deeper the 200 will run at the given speed? I know there should be a difference but I have no idea how much.

    Any help is appreciated.

    With the 200 series crank baits the bill is not that large that you won’t get much difference in depth. Line diameter will make a small difference in depth but not that much the same with speed. The distance back from the tip of the pole is going to control the depth the lure.

    Just be a slight difference with the line size....you figure line out from where the line enters the water.....so if chart says example 40 ft line out.....let out 40 ft of line then estimate the distance from rod tip to where the line enters the water ....and then let that distance more line out.

    Head over to the Mississippi Board and read the sticky at the top Cranking 101. That's how I got my start. You won't be disappointed.
    Only need three more years before I can think like a fish.

    I didn't get a stimulus check but my "mad money" is disappearing quickly. BPS had bandit 200's for $4.49 and they add up quickly

    Well we went this morning and it showed promising results. After 5 minutes of trolling we had one white perch in the boat just before my new trolling motor controller decided to crap out. It went from 1.4 mph to 2.1 on the gps immediately and I never turned the dial. I removed the panel where I mounted everything and it was full of smoke so my day of trolling was over.

    Now we are going to see how this ebay seller stands behind his product
