You have to be doing something wrong.

A good way to check is mark out 50ft. with a tape in the yard and run the line out from the rod tip to that point and see what the counter says. do this before you cut the line off the spool incase you need to add more or take off some.

Got it on my phone for most all the crank baits.

I think the MS home page has the cranking bible on it. I learned how to pull cranks by reading all 145 pages. The input from the guys that do it successfully and around here. Well worth the price.

Pulling cranks 101 is the thread.
