Thread: Pulling Cranks 101

Here is how I have mine set up I use linecounter reels Okuma Magda Pro 15dx

The poles are B&M West point crappie poles 2 @ 12' & 2@ 8' the short poles have been replaced with some uncle bucks 5' crappie rods. Because Bigger made fun of my little crappie rods The 5 footers work better too.

Some good info here...thanks. Most of the time , I am fishing smaller lakes than you guys so I push my cranks a lot instead of pulling them.

G-3, does that mean that you fish from the front? Would you use the same type equipment? Let the line out as far as pulling? Use spider rig?

Thanks.

I push em also from the front of the boat. I use 5 poles and a 2 oz. wt with a 30 in trailer and a snap swivel. I fish in shallow water a lot.

Creek, if you vouch for these folks I'll order 4 of those tomorrow. That's $15.00 lower than any I've seen. Thanks.

That is a good deal on those reels. I have never owned any line counter reels....I may just have to get me some.
