Sure wish someone will, very interesting but hard to follow and weed out the bs

Sure Slab I just looked how long it is. Maybe on my next layup lol

Because you revived the issue, it seems I now have a volunteer. Thanks all. Good deal.

And it's not you CG1, you don't need any more layups.

I'd like to see it condensed too!!

As someone who has read this entire thread several times, I can say with some authority, "You would have to be a little insane to volunteer for that job!"

I think the best start would be to break it down into sections like long lining, using planer boards, techniques for different seasons, etc. It's such a broad topic, it's pretty hard to condense it. Maybe trolling out pulling cranks needs its own section in the forums 😉

For a new crankbait troller on Sardis and Enid, using Bandit 300s or Arkies, what depths should he try as he's figuring things out?

I would stagger the baits at different depths and let the fish tell you where they want them at. In order to know how much line to let out - the data from Precision Trolling will greatly assist.
