This will help on pulling cranks.
Pulling refers to putting the rods on the side or back of the boat , letting out a measured amount of line this causes the baits to run at a certain depth at a certain speed while the boat goes forward " pulling " the baits along behind it. With jigs its also called " long lineing ".
Pushing refers to haveing the poles on the front of the boat while boat is going forward , with jigs, its also called slow trolling ( depending on speed ) . With crankbaits its called pushing cranks.
Hope that helps alittle

You ain't lived until you've had 6 crankbaits ($30) hung up at the same time on a windy day.:biggrin
Don't do it! My advice is to stay as far away from crainkbaits as you can! Its for your own good. Its a bad bad thing. Once you start you won't be able to stop!

Yes it is an addiction and when it gets at it's worst stage, you will reach in the fridge for the milk and discover it's a bag of crankbaits, and you wonder..."just what did I do with that milk". Yes, it's a downward path you are starting to tread, so be careful my friend.
That's hilarious I just left walmart digging thru small cranks to try also bought more red and chartreuse jigs,
