What is the shortest line length anyone uses successfully to pull cranks for crappie when they're shallow? I was wondering if you can pull cranks when the fish are shallow?

5 foot of line out last weekend
I pulled Arkie 350's today with 30 ft. of line out......at 1.8 mph they were running about 8 and a half ft. deep.
Really.......Nothing but a crank bait and 5 feet of line? How fast?Quote:

Get some planer boards and you can run them 1 ft deep

Crappie will hit cranks at .8 mph, have not tried less. The tiny Wee r's work great, run about 2/3' deep, at that speed.
Small 1.5" to 2" rapalas can run that slow also and not run very deep.
