Thread: Pushing crankbait questions

Pushing crankbaits I run a three oz. trolling weight three ft. ahead of the crankbait. I run 1.8 pushing crankbaits and often push and pull at the same time. I use this depth chart for pushing cranks.
Pushing crankbaits is a different method than power trolling. Power trolling is really like spider rigging jigs and or minnows except with more weight and a higher speed.

I use the ScottV 4oz weights. 3's if fishing shallow.

4oz

I push like the depth charts says....just enough weight to keep line layed back at a 45 degree angle at speed I am running....for me at 1.8 mph three oz. works for that.

Thanks guys. Guess I just need to order some weights now.
