problems pulling cranks

The turns is where you get your lines crossed I run 15 foot in line length difference on each pole and don't have to many problems. If you're running sideways with the wind, it'll cause the lines to get pushed onto one another at times to

No turns and no wind....lol

now that's just crazy right there. Your cranks may not be running straight.

gonna check that, they are all brand new tho, we couldn't establish a color tho, caught them on every thing from black, pink, chartuse, white, and silver.

I caught several yesterday on Barnett pulling cranks. 99% of em on a Chrome bait with a chartreuse lip and red belly. Dang batteries died to I went up the lake to see if they were shallow. AHHH HAHAHAA waste of gas

Yea we killed my trolling battery too. In about 4-5 hours. Going to buy one more so I'll have two. Might check on gulf cart battery.

Listening to Kent Driscoll's siminar at Grizzly Jig, he runs the inside rods next to his motor out farther. His reason for that was in case the boat spooked fish directly under it, they would have more time to get over it. Just be sure you have around 4 ft of line separation and that your cranks are running true.

Scott, that's what I thought he said on DVD. Wonder if it was just a fluke, didn't do it everytime, just more than I would of liked. Which line do you let out first? Short poles or long poles.

**ScottV** · 04-09-2012, 09:21 AM

It varies, just whichever I pick up first. As long as you have good line separation, it shouldn't matter.

Dave.....I was running 300's Saturday running anywhere from 45 ft' to 65 ft. of line out. Four feet of separation between all of the lines. You saw how my boat was set up....pulling 6 poles all from the back of the boat off of my hi-teks. Running the TM at 1.6 mph.....no problems with lines crossing. Turns no problems. I saw how deep the fish were on my FF and set my lines where my baits would be above them.
