Last summer I tried pulling cranks a few times.. I think i was going way too fast and usually only caught1 crappie per attempt. I usually fish in Gravois but I put in at wigwam from time to time. I usually just spider rig double minnows but would like to get the hang of using cranks. I have a box of about $200 worth of bandits. Can I just use my pushing rods (16 footers). Not sure if my longer rods killed some of my success.
