bassadict69, you need to get set up with theygotaeat. He lives somewhere over in the Shreveport/Bossier area and he kills the crappie with crankbaits. I have seen him offer to take folks before. Since he is so close to you maybe he can help. He seems to have this cranking down to a science. Good luck with your quest.

I mentioned varied length on the rods....try to keep four ft. of separation....and make wide sweeping turns so not to tangle. a 14 ft and a 10 ft straight out each side at the back of boat....and two eight footers straight out the back. And I sometimes run four 12 footers fanned out on front of boat pushing with a 3 oz. weight three ft. ahead of the crank bait. Here is a depth chart for pushing crakbaits with a three oz. weight.

You can get the Arkie 350's for $3.99 here https://grizzlyjig.com/p-464-arkie-crankbaits.aspx

What most of the guys do to get started to see if they like it is....Use a couple of your old bass fishing rods and hold one in each hand and guess at how much line you have our...or pull it off three ft. at a time. Then if you decide you like it....get ready to spend some money.....but it sure is fun.
