A few years ago I was instructed how to push cranks by my Lake Darbonne friend, ONEON. The technique works extremely well. It uses a 2 oz egg sinker held four feet above the crankbait by a large swivel. It puts the crank lowest in the water without any line or weights below it for distraction. The formula at 1.8 to 2.0 mph was simply 2:1. If you had ten feet of line out the crank would run five feet deep.....thirty feet of line out would run it fifteen feet deep. It is a very simple rigging which is what I like and works fantastic......I usually pull 'em but this is a great way to go if you need complete boat control to maneuver.

Hey, I'm still here, LOL! But thanks for the encouragement from both J.W. and Jerry! I have too many irons in the fire......just got back from a week of Galveston which was a pleasure trip to see family and relax with kids....didn't wet a hook....it really wore me out though, LOL! I'm still checking the boards every day even if I don't post and I know David is also. We are currently waiting on the big muddy to start dropping so we can get back into our river lakes and do some damage......river ain't cooperating too well and neither are the lakes outside the levee down here. We fished all day Saturday before last pulling cranks and pushing jigs on both Slackwater Harbour and Pothole at Grady Cutoff without catching a single Crappie.....was pretty discouraging. The Pothole was full of Gar and I think Slackwater has had a hex of some kind put on it, LOL. We've thought about hitting Sardis but that's a 3.5 hour drive for 15 fish (culling is difficult with cranks) and we just haven't had the time. Hopefully we will have some good tales to tell and pics to post in the near future.

Culling isnt too bad as them smaller fish have a hard time getting that big ol bait in their mouth. Its worth the trip steve.
