Red hooks aren't a MUST but they do help the bite somewhat. Take a black 300 and with the regular hooks, nothing special but add red hooks and it stands out, something about what the fish are seeing. I CHEAT though if I don;t have red hooks and what I do DOES WORK, tried it several times last year by putting 2 of the same cranks out at the same depth and my little trick beat it 2 to 1. Anyways, you're in for a treat when it's all said and done Maj cause there ain't nothing like have 8 poles out and look up and have 5 or 6 fish on at one time.
8 poles out, 5 or 6 fish on at a time:eek::eek: Doesn't that get a bit complicated? Do you keep the boat running same speed, slow down or stop?:confused:
Whatever you do...DON'T stop!!!!
Maj, 8 poles is pushing it. I usually run 3 down each side, that is plenty to handle and a lot less headache. If ya get multiples on just pick one and reel it in, then go to the next one. Generally with a mouth full of trebels, their not going anywhere.
Thanks feelay. I plan to start with 4 poles out, 2 on each side. I'll take it easy until I get the hang of it.
I agree ...... 6 poles is plenty, you dont need anymore confusion than that.
4 is plenty. Anymore than that and you'll work yourself to death. I pull 8 when I can but you WILL get tangles so just don;t let your temper get to ya when you do. Just stay calm, reel the tangled one's in and just retie your cranks. Like Feelay said DON'T STOP, that's just a tangle waiting to happen. Ya get hung up on a stump? Just keep going and hope you get your crank back. That's one reason I use braided line, I don;t lose as many 5 dollar cranks
4-6 poles are plenty if you are fishing alone. If I have someone with me I will pull 8 sometimes.
