Reply With QuoteI know nothing about pulling. Im hope to get a chance to this year. My question is how come not add weight to the 100's to get it down to the deep you like to fish. Am I miss something?

I have a number of years started pulling at 53-55 degrees. Last spring the hit was so good long lining jigs I,m thinking it wasn't till the water temp was in the low 60's for the first time. When the water is that cold in the 50's I like pulling thru the timber and as close to brush as possible. Will start with the 200's then switch to the 300's and Arkie 350's.

All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

Go to the top of the Mississippi Forum and read "Pulling Cranks 101". It taught me everything I wanted to learn when it was first started. Long read, but we use line counter reels and depth charts for crankbaits to give us the approximate depth the baits are running in conjunction to the speed we are trolling . You can use weights, but this is a way more accurate targeting of the fish to the bait.Originally Posted by Gindog

Or.... Look in the articles from 2014. There are a series called "Pulling Cranks 101: The Good Parts Version"- They are a consolidated version that leaves out most of the playful and redundant posts. There are four separate articles.

Do you pull
I run 100's and 200's at all depths with the Tadpoles from Offshore Tackle. 300's trip the tadpoles because they pull to hard. I also run Flicker Shads and other smaller baits with them. Lipless baits work great with the Tadpoles as well as jigs.
We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.
