    You pull and push at the same speed. I usually start out at 1.7 mph. I would run the same speed if I was only pushing although you could push at any speed since the weight already has the bait at your desired depth.
    I haven't had any troubles with line twist assuming my crankbait is running right.

    When you're pushing a crankbait, you need a weight to pull the bait down. You can run the bait 20 ft deep if you want.

    if you go with a smaller CB, do you need more weight to get to the same depth as the 300's??
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I don't think so. I think your weight and line out pretty much control your depth

    Pushing is super easy, don't need no line counter!

    I have been using your loop knot for the weight since you told me about a year ago,works great. Cuts down on extra hardware. Thanks Scott
