Thread: Pulling Cranks 101

Sounds good guys....thanks for the info

now we know why boats have gotten bigger with as much storage as a two car garage. so you dont have to leave stuff at home and then wonder if the fish would have bit on what i left behind

I know it....I wish my boat was two foot wider, Lol

now ya'll see why I got the 21 footer

I have enough length to suit me at 18 and a half ft. ...would like it wider though. My next one will be wide.

Like mine G? I've got a 96 inch beam and even with 8 poles for Spider rigging, 6 for pulling cranks, 2 tackleboxes and a cooler, I still got plenty off room to roam

So I need to make my list: 6 line counter reels, 6 pro troller rods, 10# hi- vis line, 2 sets of 4-rod holers, and lots of bandit crankbaits. Maybe with some of the money I have left over I could upgrade my electronics also.

L2, I'm no expert by long shot, but I used 10# hi-viz on my crank pullin rods all summer and lost too many bandits.. As soon as my 30# braid hi-viz comes in from BPS, all that 10# goes in file 13. And I think it's a good idea to use thin wire hooks too. Just sayin...

Yeah I used 30 lb braid this summer. It saved some bandits but I lost some also. I had some mustad red hooks on some of them and those things will not bend real well. They are great hooks but hard to straighten out. Also I need to retie more often. I hardly ever retied and that cost me some baits.
