looks like a good start! The line counters are not a must have they just help you get dialed in to exactly where you want the cranks to run. But you have a good variaty of cranks to get you going! Good luck its addictive!
Gonna try my first attempt at pulling cranks (hopefully this weekend) and this what I have so far.
ATS 15 Line Counter reels with 10lb mono (I only bought 2 to start want to make sure I'm going to like them)
Rods - I have some old 7' med heavy rods kicking around in the garage
6 INT Pico cranks
4 BnM Cranks
2 Bandit 300's
4 Arkies
I'm trying to spread the initial cost out by using old rods and buying just a few items at a time but is there anything else I'm missing as far as MUST haves to get started?
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]About $800 after that your set
Get some safety snaps or swivels with snaps to attach and change out crankbaits also.

Hopefully I can keep it under $800 or gonna have to get a P.O. Box to have my orders sent to. My better half is already starting to ask too many questions.
I have two brand new Scotty rod holders, without the bases, that I will offer first to pcdimis, and if he doesn't want them, first come gets the prize. I recently bought them by mistake and would rather give them away than to return them, be charged for shipping and then basically be giving their merchandise back to them for free. These holders are for casting reels and have a rubber strap at the end, I do not remember the model number. You would have to purchase two Scotty bases. But they're free.....I'll even pay shipping, as long as you are not in Bangladesh !!!
Are those Pico cranks?
