I'm glad you brought that up I been wantin to get some planers myself do you have to get a full size board or will the mini boards work with crankbaits?

The mini boards work ok unless your using a trolling weight with a small sized crank like a Arkie and then I prefer the larger ones. Without using trolling weights and just running a Bandit 300 sized crank the mini boards are ok.

Thanks "G" that's the next tool i need for my madness

hey, put a pic of these weights on here. I am curious to see what they look like. I too have fished the egg sinkers, but they put an awful bow in my rods. thanks

At 3 ozs they gonna bow your rod no doubt. Need to check for hitchhikers from time to time, a small one may not give you any clue he is there.

I have tried that G, doesn't seem to matter for me for some reason. Maybe it's a Toledo Bend, or Louisiana thing. I plan on doing the push thing with Scott's weights anyway just for fun. He is going to send me the 3 oz. weights, we'll see.

Thanks for the tip, I'll pull out the Ugly Sticks.

does scottv have a website?? I would love to become more familiar with pushing cranks. most of my experience is with pulling them.
