Great read Plenty of info Thanks

wow

More to come. Stay tuned.

Good read...... Make sure your lake is suitable for cranking before dropping the coin for this method. My lake is loaded with blacks and cranking did not work for me this summer. I spent two days with Feelay on Sardis learning this method. Then I purchased all necessary equipment to pull cranks. My lake does not have a good consistent depth to pull either , it trends from 10' to 100' quickly. Not trying to be negative to this method , just trying to extend my lessons that I learned.

Very good condescension.

good read

I would up using 6 B n M Pro Trollers, 2 16', 2 12' and 2 8'. This gives me 4' of seperation on each rod. Also switches to Okuma 20DX's and 30b power pro braid.

I love all the good info and like Bama S says know your lake. My lake has hybrid striped bass 18+lbs ;walleyes 12+lbs and huge blue and flathead catfish. They along with the crappie love to eat anything that looks like a shad so you may end up with tangled lines.

We have crappie, white bass, largemouth bass, and catfish. Some quite large. Here also, you WILL (not may) end up with tangled lines. The best pullers will admit that they have had to simply cut and re-tie on more than one occasion. This is not a sit back and do nothing approach to crappie. It will work you, sometimes. And I agree with the "know your lake" point. That is the best starting point with any fishing tactic!
