Thread: Pullin Cranks

I use separate rods with line counter reels for pulling cranks. The rods need to be a little stiffer but you could get by with using whatever you've got. I pull from the back, three rods on each side. I have 8' trolling rods next to the motor and angled up at 45 degrees to prevent the fish from pulling the rod out of the holder. Then I have 12' rods, followed by 14' rods. I have them positioned to have around 4' of line separation. It's easier to make turns when pulling from the rear of the boat.
Also I usually push with two rods from the front of the boat. If I'm really bored, I'll also run a planer board off each side.

Not a real good pic to show my way of pullin from the back, but maybe u can get pte idea.
I use 14ft trolling rods on each outside, 7 ft next and 10 ft bout 10 degrees off of straight out the back.
I have two sets of poles. One for pullin/pushing and one for spyder riggin.

Sammy, you and Feesh come down to Tibbee one day and we'll have a clinic. I should be back in action next week.

Yall get it together an ill try to b there too.

Scott do you run your lines at different lengths? If so, what is longest, I been doing my longest lines straight out the back. Shortest are my 12' poles coming off side of boat.

I pull completely different from Scott, neither wrong or rite so much but you may want to go with him and then with me and then decide what works best in your boat. Will be on Nader Sunday morning if you aint got nuttin planned
