Thread: Question

Nope

nope speeds the same.... Sometimes I pull and push at the same time.......If I am running 8 poles on the front...I pull two on each side and push two on each side. Most of the time though I pull 6 off of the back like Scott does.

Can you? Guess what I am asking is how slow can you pull em and get the action out of the bait?

about 1.5 on the bandits slower than that they dont wiggle right. rattle traps work good for pushing

Reason I am asking G is I have caught alot of my fish running slower than what alot of these guys talk about, 1.4 seems tp be a good speed.

What you are doing with a slower speed is bringing the crank up into the "strike zone". 2 ways of finding fish when cranking-- speed and length of line.

Got ya.
Gonna see how slow I can run and a bandit do it's thing in the morning, may try some 200s since I am gonna weight em anyways.

When I fish with cranks, which is very seldom, I use a 11/2 oz egg weight above a swivel and the leader. I usually let out 25-30 ft.. I pull Brad's wigglers at 100 to 125 ft. at 1.2-1.4 mph. This will keep them in the 10-12 ft depth. I don't think the size matters. Like I said, you can ajust depths by speed and length of line. Remember this, your most aggressive fish will hit first and usually be the biggest in area.
