does anybody use a trolling plate for pulling cranks. i used to pull bandits with my old bass boat and had to pull four buckets. does the trolling plates eliminate the need for buckets?

Yep, work like a charm. Just look odder than DD in his speedos. Some things just shouldn't be.

for when you want it to turn and sometimes it don't that well. I think I'm gonna get some 1/4 inch steel plates and bolt it on the trolling plate so that crank gets fixed and put it on the Bay boat.

Torch and I both have the Troll-a-matic plate and it does work great. It is a lot better than the Happy Troller that DD has, just sayin.

Sat, and/or Torch. I read some product reviews on the Cabela's site & the only negative was a loss of top end of about 5mph. Did either of you experience this?
