Thread: problems pulling cranks

Long poles need the most line, should solve most of your prob. Also when u get a fish on hold the rod up and let the fish come to the top and then reel him in.

Gator, are you sure your lines aren't crossing during your turns?

If he had hos long lines to the inside then he ain't got to turn if he gets a fish on

Ok, more info, I didn't really make any turns, very slight ones. Also when we got a fish we did get them to the surface and "ski" them to the boat. Thanks Rees, next time I'll let the longer poles out farther and shorten up the short poles. Tks fer info.

So, G1, u r using different size lures on different length poles, or u r intentionally running them at different depths in order to locate them?

We were running them at different depths to find fish, when we started we had them at 120',100', & 80'. We didn't catch any on the 120' lines so we changed them to 100',80',& 60'. Started catching more fish and on all poles. Was that a fluke or was they just shallower?...

Once I find a good depth, I run all mine the same length out. If the bite changes, I change em 10-20 ft either way, in or out. I never have trouble with crossing lines, but it happens to everyone on occasion. You might have a bait or two that's not running true.
