Question. When you say pushing are you fishing in the front of the boat or? Pulling cranks is aft correct?
Pushing is like spider rigging out of the front. Power Trolling and pushing cranks is just spider rigging with bigger weights to hold the Baits down while going much faster. Power Trolling about .8-1.2 mph. 1 mph average. Pushing cranks can be from 1 mph to 2 mph but I like 1.5-1.7 best. At those speeds the cranks wobble faster causing a reaction strike. It’s become in vogue to tie a roadrunner about 3’ above the crank to give you an extra bait in the water. The crank pulls the jig down with it. I’ve caught tons of fish on the roadrunner. It does feel weird when you reel in a fish on the jig and you still feel the crankbait wobbling behind it.

Pulling is from the rear of the boat. Long lining and cranking is considered pulling.
