Ban Major !!!!!!!!!!!

Now that he is out of town, this is a good time to get him banned from this Forum. I have been reading the Pulling Crankbaits 101 thread he started way back in 2010 and got drawn in. He just cost me $350.00 in equipment to start pulling Cranks. I have never met him [I hope to soon], but he has been a Bad Influence on me and countless others costing us hundreds of dollars. Just kidding. I can't wait to get to the lake and try pulling Cranks for the first time. Thanks to Major and all the others that contributed to the 101 thread. I haven't read all the post there, but what I have read has taught me a lot. Thanks all.

You have only just begun!!!!!!!!!!:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl

You know they say we will show you and teach you . It seem you are correct . it always cost you some money . lol He ain't the only one .

Glad you brought this up, I lost a bait the other day that needs replacing, thanks now I got to go shopping!!!

Just $350? Man you ain't doin too bad

Glad you found it useful spindle. Lots of folks have contributed good info to it. BTW, $350. is light. Have you bought a Terrova yet? What about SI/DI electronics? Line counter reels? This list could go on and one. Have fun while you learn.

You cant just blame Major, I think G had a part in it too. We should ban him also, them two boys are corrupt and a bad influence.

When I started getting interested in pulling cranks.....everybody told me what to buy......I made a list of everything that I told my self I was not going to buy....5 years later I have bought everything on that list plus some more.....just no end to it lol

I started buy stuff then my cheapness came out and i stopped.

Spindle, a terrova with ipilot will be the best thing you could ever buy for your boat for spider rigging or cranking.

Without a doubt RIP, best tool in my boat as far as trolling. Makes fishing alone alot easier too.

Absolutely, like having someone in the boat dedicated to running the trolling motor. They ain't cheap but I remember how mad I use to get in the wind with my old five speed foot control.

Y'all cracking me up. We take a pontoon and cast poles out the side and back, put poles wherever they will stay(under cushions, etc) and catch them cranking. What's an I pilot? Ha!

Ha! Its something that makes any type of trolling easier and more enjoyable! Also, I prefer rod holders over stuffed under saet cushions but that too is just personal preference.

Just messing with y'all. I have never had a troll rig but I have caught them before doing the above. It's just like any sport I guess. U can spend as much as the pocket book will allow and still want have exactly what u want. I fish out of three different boats according to the circumstances and I can promise u if I could haul all three to the lake I would use all three.

Welcome to the money pit! Don't get me wrong I love this place!

I bought a Terrova with IPilot along with a HB 798 and 597 last year. The UPS man delivered five Okuma 20 DX reels and rods to put them on today. I picked up 20 Crankbait at BPS last Sunday. I already have my reels spooled with 10 lb high visible line. I "think" I have enough to get me started.
