Pulling Cranks 101

Rebel makes some good ones too, similar to the Bandit, but they have some colors that Bandit doesn't have and they run true out of the box. Good fishing.

I have finally read this whole thread..Thanks to all that have contributed their expertise. Hit the lake this morning with the reluctant girlfriend, she had rather shoot docks, had 2 rockfish about 12 to 15 pounds each but no crappie.....Not enough time to find fish this morning......I see the addiction starting.....

pulling at night was touched on earlier....Does anybody pull at night and if so how?

Tried it a couple of times last year, only caught one.

I haven't seen any reports on here about pulling at night.

Suppose if you attached some of those little glow sticks for bobbers on the rod tips you could watch for the bite?!

Trolling in the moon light it's not hard to see your poles pulling cranks, just haven't had any luck at it.

Rees, what if I'm using 15/8 braid? How will the depths change?

Not a hole lot, will run a little deeper.

Was using some 6 pound mono and was dumping botom in 17 foot of water when the crank would have been running 13 with 10 pound mono. Using that formula if the chart says 13 then your 15/8 should be running around 15.

Yep, been seeing about a 3-5 foot advantage on the 6 lbs tests, but not liking the bait loss ratios. Going back to 10lbs mono. Braid may not see the break offs, but 6 lbs mono is just too light for me. That was 6lbs Pline and Viscious monos.
