I got a new batch of Arkie 350 crankbaits and I thought I would come out to Cypress to see if they work.

How are you maintaining the correct speed? I run my trolling motor on the lowest setting and it's going too fast. I was thinking of putting a coupe of 5 gallon buckets behind the boat to see if this slows me down.
That will work....drill a half a dozen 3/4 inch holes around bottom of bucket....you can hang one on each side off of your rear cleats. I use a Minn Kota Terrova with I-Pilot and can set speed just right. But yeh the buckets work....I used them in the early days of this addiction when I started pulling cranks 7 years ago.Quote:

I run my 24 volt 70 lb. Terrova with I Pilot pulling cranks anywhere from 1.6 to 2.2 mph. The hotter the water temp the faster I pull them. I started out pulling with a 115 Yamaha four stroke....it would not go slow enough at idle so I put a Troll a Matic trolling plate on it.....and that worked good...I would tie the steering wheel straight with a bungie cord and steer with a 40 lb. trolling motor. Then I traded boats and went to the bigger Terrova trolling motor.
You can get a speedo app for your phoneQuote:

When Pulling cranks I very rarely go slower than 1.5 mphQuote:
