A lot of people use them as well as other crankbaits.

someone may have already said this, but, go to myoutdoortv.com and look under the Midwest Crappie show's subtitles. There are several shows with Kent D. on there fishing cranks on the COE lakes.

Make sure it's the first one. Kent goes over WHY you do things

Those are good videos and now is a good time for a review. He points out the proper way to space the amount of line out for each rod. I don't think I'd seen that any place else.

Kent runs his lines a little different than I do, Hes the pro but I know what works for me.

How do you do yours bigger. My lines sometimes twist together, a real pain.

**DonDon** · 05-19-2010, 02:52 PM

If so, you're turning to sharp or you don;t have them spaced out enough. I TRY and keep them atleast 15 feet apart, line length outwise

Kent runns his with the longest line out on the shortest rod....the farthest one to the rear. He does it that way in theory that the prop wash will spook some fish and that bait needs to be farther from the boat. Good theory.

I run my short poles with the least amount of line out and the longest poles with the most line out. When MY outside pole gets hit theres enough difference in line/bait depth that my when the fish comes to the surface theres more of a chance for the fish to go behind the other lines and to the center line of the boat. Thus desreacing a chance of tangle.

Where as Driscolls lines are longer on the short poles and theres more of a chance for the fish to get wrapped in another line enroute to the center.

Just the way I do it and it works out real good.
