[QUOTE="bigcatpike, post: 342446, member: 1460"] I am looking to get into trolling cranks this summer so I can cover more water than a bottom bouncer and spinner or jigging. With various sales this spring I have compiled a sizable stash of #5 and #7 flickershads, #7,9,11 flicker minnows, #4 and #5 salmo hornets, and #7 shad raps. Most of my walleye fishing is done from late June-early October on Devils Lake , so I would like to be able to troll in 25-30 ft if necessary and [B]potentially with smaller size baits[/B]. I'm in the NE corner of the state so I have never fished sak but would like to be set up to fish it as well if the opportunity arises. Right now my plan is to start with 4 lines (2 8'6'' or 9' rods straight out the sides with 2 5'6'' or 6' rods out the back. [B]Not looking to break the bank on rods for trolling, but would like to know what you guys would recommend, especially on the short rods[/B]. Not planning on planer boards at the moment but would consider them in the future to run a couple more lines. [B]For reels and line I am leaning towards Daiwa sealines in either size 27 or 47 and either 18lb leadcore or 10-15# braid with maybe a snap weight in deeper water. Is leadcore necessary for my applications? If so, should I go up to the 47 size? [/B]Any input on my plan/what I should buy would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
