Pulling/pushing cranks

**silverside** · 10-04-2021, 10:27 AM

Im going to try pulling some crankbaits with 1-2oz weights. Do you guys increase your line size or does 6# work ok?

I used braid when I pushed with weights. Figured the smaller diameter would help the baits stay down.

6# line could get pretty costly.....I am with dockshootinjack I use 14# braid with 12#mono leader....

For pushing Crankbaits,,,,I use a 3 oz. trolling sinker to control my depth and I use 10 lb Viscous mono. I do not use any weight when pulling , I control my depth by length of line out at 1.8 mph

Didn't you post a chart of some sort on this once?

Thanks G, I plan on pulling cranks next summer if I get my stock built up. Do you use the Pico weights with swivels?

I only use Pico trolling weights when I push crank baits. Sometimes I push the same time. Most of the time I just pull them.

Thanks buddy, I was building a shopping cart full last night of scope eyes, cranks, etc.
