Pulling cranks

**Ballpark** · 07-22-2018, 11:05 AM

Looking. For a little help! I have been pushing jigs for a while now. I am headed to Grenada /Sardis the middle of September. I am going to try pulling Arkie350’s. I do not know how you get the cranks deeper than 10/12’. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You can add a 1oz weight in front of your crankbait and pick up 3/5' of depth. I use a 2oz and really get down there. I use a 3' leader line behind the weight. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help!
That is the first time to see a pulling chart!

There is a more extensive chart in the cranking 101 sticky. Next to last page, I believe. You can get them down to 17’-18’ without adding weight.

Those link starts where the line hit the water not at the rod tip

I'd rather use weights as opposed to pulling more than 70 or 80 foot of line.

Unsure of the contour lines you will be running, but with shorter lines and weights you can turn tighter than when pulling with a lot of line out.

Crank leader + depth for weight should get you close. This was using precision trolling app. I’d suggest the app and add the cranks you are going to use. Trolling with lots of line can get them deeper.
