Thread: Crankbait Pushing Chart

I use the ScottV weights. 3oz if fishing in 10' of water or less, 4 oz if more. They work perfect. I also use a 3-4' leader from my weight the the crank. Just like slow trolling, you can figure how much line you need out at any angle when the fish start hitting your bait.

I recently found that if you put the skinny end of the weight towards the rod, and the big end towards the crank, the weight has less drag in the water and gives you a better angle on your line. The weight becomes more aerodynamic that way. Maybe I meant hydrodynamic.
