For pushing I use 12' Bass Pro Tightline Specials. They're too stiff for spider rigging but great for pushing cranks with the 3 or 4 oz weights. The fiberglass Firecast rods I spider rig with have too light of a tip for pushing. Any fairly stiff rod will work good for pushing cranks. The Okuma trolling rods in the 8 ft length do good but I switched to the 12 ft Tightline Specials to get the baits a little farther from the boat.
