    Planers especially stink when the dinks are biting heavy. 4 poles go off and they're all dinks. Takes 4 times longer to get them in and back out. They do work well when the bigger fish are spooky and moving away from the boat tho.

    20' rod is gonna make a 10" fish feel like a 5 pounder with all that leverage on the pole.

    Seen Kent Driscoll using them on tv which gave me the idea. They seemed to handle them pretty well. The two 20ft rods caught the majority of fish. I will probably try them and report back.

    Waiting on patent to be approved, but be ready for my new crappie fishing arsenal to come out. It is revolutionary, beyond what any current manufacturer has on the market today, period.
    It's called "The Wicked Crappie: the Big 4"
    Pneumatic 30ft trolling booms that allow as many lines as legally possible. Booms are operated by a single stage switch panel that maybe installed anywhere you wish.
    Each reel is automatically controlled by a voice activated remote control. The feeshes don't stand a chance with such technology and craftsmanship!

    Not included is a longer net, bigger minner container, and any misc. fees from the state game wardens.

    I use all 12's when pulling 6 cranks is what I do unless it's a tournament that allows 8 poles. I have 2 straight out the back, 2 out the sides, and 2 that split the difference in the middle. Puts each rod tip about 5' apart and eliminated me trying to cast a crank in the middle. If the middle pole catches, I reel fish in, slide outside pole down one spot and recast crankbait out the side.

    When using 8 poles, the 2 extra are 16's to space them out and they do require more work than fishing 6 of the same length.

    I never got the whole different rod length scenario unless you are pulling all rods from the side and as wide of an area as you have to work with a pontoon, you should be able to put a 8 of the same length across the back.... but that just my thoughts.. I have never owned a pontoon.
