    Default Pulling Cranks with Hi Teks?


    Any of you guys pull cranks with hi tek rod holders? I have a set I use spider rigging and was wondering if they are sturdy enough for pulling. I tried to use the search and oddly nothing came up.

    I've used them with zero issues. Check your bases regularly to make sure they screws haven't loosened.

    I pull with Millenium rod holders. I angle mine so that rod tip is about 6" above water surface. That way gives me an easier reading of crank depth from the dive charts.
