Yep and in a 20 you gonna need something like the PST
And need a longer net! 20 ft is a doozy
Thanks! I'm thinking a 20,16,12 and 8 ft of each side and 4 poles out the back of the toon when cranking time comes. Should make for a nice spread.

Just asking, 'cause I haven't gotten deep into cranking yet, but would it not be just as good or better to use planer boards?Quote:

I like 18, 14, 10 and 6 myself, 18 foot rod is plenty in a 18.5 foot boat!!!!
Planers suck, I know a lot of folks use em but in a bass boat style rig you can get entirely too much crap in it. Too much like work for my lazy tail!!!!Quote:

Planers especially stink when the dinks are biting heavy. 4 poles go off and they're all dinks. Takes 4 times longer to get them in and back out. They do work well when the bigger fish are spooky and moving away from the boat tho.Quote:

The handle is to thick for my liking.
U will like them. Bnm pst is what your looking for. I know a fella that fishes out of 18 ft boat in a wheel chair and he does just fine with those big poles. He runs same spread u mentioned
Seen Kent Driscoll using them on tv which gave me the idea. They seemed to handle them pretty well. The two 20ft rods caught the majority of fish. I will probably try them and report back.

It's called "The Wicked Crappie: the Big 4"
Pneumatic 30ft trolling booms that allow as many lines as legally possible. Booms are operated by a single stage switch panel that maybe installed anywhere you wish.
Each reel is automatically controlled by a voice activated remote control. The feeshes don't stand a chance with such technology and craftsmanship!
Not included is a longer net, bigger minner container, and any misc. fees from the state game wardens.

Puts each rod tip about 5' apart and eliminated me trying to cast a crank in the middle. If the middle pole catches, I reel fish in, slide outside pole down one spot and recast crankbait out the side.
When using 8 poles, the 2 extra are 16's to space them out and they do require more work than fishing 6 of the same length.
I never got the whole different rod length scenario unless you are pulling all rods from the side and as wide of an area as you have to work with a pontoon, you should be able to put a 8 of the same length across the back.... but that just my thoughts.. I have never owned a pontoon.
The reason I use the 20 ft I'm covering 50 ft of water with each pass and that makes a big difference

With planer boards you can make a 300' swipe down the lake but the dink or gar (in the oxbows) bite kills ya. Takes waaaaay to long resetting the boards when that happens especially when you get 3-4 rods going off at the same time all day long!!!Quote:
