I push and pull 3/4 oz weight with 1/16-4 oz jig head on a 15 inch leader with 2 inch curly tails at .5-.6 MPH. The baits stay down at the desired depth and the tails swim with action. If the baits do not have swimming action-no fish.

At the same time I push small crank baits such as the Bittsy Pond Minnow with a 2 oz weight off the front of the boat. We have mostly Black Crappie and the smaller baits at slow speeds seem to work best for them.
