Thread: thinking about trolling cranks

I have a plug knocker that's about 40 some years old, and has saved many a crank (single pole casting/trolling) :



.... but, I wouldn't expect it to work with a 2oz trolling weight (torpedo shaped). Now .... were I "Pulling" cranks (no added weights), then it might be effective. But, I'd still probably reel in all the other cranks before trying to free the snagged one.
