Sure does a little bit.......it is limited by the length of your line between it and the weight though.

when we are pulling cranks, our down rod with a 2 oz. weight runs 12-14 ft. deep with 22 ft. of line out.

Maachuu I use a 3 oz and started pushing rattle traps instead of cranks. They seem to get more vertical instead of dragging behind the weight. When you only have about 15 fol out the line stays pretty vertical but the more you let out the worse it will drag. I tried using two 3 oz weights at Sardis because we were in 35 to 40 fow. But it did not seem to help too much when you let out alot of line.

I usually only push shallow

Your right SuperTech rattletraps work good

Yes Paula was catching dinks and a few keepers pulling bandits and even though I only caught a few pushing out the front they were big 2 pounders!

SuperTech, I have some traps coming and was wandering what colors I should paint them ? should I do some of the combo's like me and Scott have done on bandits ?

thanks
