Crankbait Pushing Depth Chart

Some of you have been asking questions about pushing Arkie crankbaits useing trolling weights. Here is how to figure your depth useing the weights. I prefer 3 oz. weights. Attachment 204601

You can thank ScottV on the MS board for doing the math and figureing out the chart. Thanks Scott

This really helps me out. I've been wanting to get into running crank baits.

for us more simple people.....ie me.....is there a chart for pulling cranks....?...uhhh ..G...no smart comments.......:)

Yes.....look around.....pulling chart was posted yesterday.....look at the crankbait threads its on one of them.

Thanks. I plan on giving pushing a try soon.

Do you catch same amount of crappie either pushing or pulling? Why do you chose one way or the other?

To get the 45 degree angle with 3 ounces of weight what speed are you running? Seems I remember the charts for PULLING cranks calling for 1.8 mph. Is it about the same for pushing?

You can go slower pushing.....amount of weight also depends on wind. I use three oz weights and set my speed watching the line angle. And if its too windy for that to work.....I go home. I usually run 1. 4 to 1.8 depending on conditions to keep line at 45 degrees.
