Years ago Scott V posted a chart for pushing cranks. He had different size sinkers and different crank sizes. I'm guessing that it was about 7 years back.
Anyone know how to find it?

Looking through my email fishing folder I found one labeled pushing cranks dated 7/23/2016. I open it and it's empty. Guess if you don't open those stored emails/links they disappear after a while.
I looked through general chat for a few months before and after that date and didn't find anything. Now moving to Off-topics.
Multiply length of line out (below water) by .66 and that’s how deep you are if lines are approximately 45 degrees.
Check this link : https://www.crappie.com/crappie/main...h-chart-3.html
This one from arkie will be close for almost any lure you are pushing since your depth will be determined by you weight/speed/line angle
If it’s hard to see just go to arkielure.com or google arkie pushing chart and look at inages
But here’s ScottyV’s also
Thank you for that chart.
The link is started 5/29/2015. Tracker123 entered post #13, 5/30/2015. "I received that same depth chart when Scott sent me his pushing weights."
Guess I need to search farther back.
You have a link to that one?
When I Push jigs/cranks I'm using 2oz for cranks & 1oz for jigs ...1.5mph - 1.8mph for cranks & ~1mph for jigs.
I "assume" that for every 5ft of line out below the surface that my baits will be running 3ft deep. I fine tune the depth by multiplying the length of line out below the surface by 0.6 (20ft line out = 12ft bait depth) I'm pretty sure my lines have never been at a 45deg angle at those speeds/weights, but it's been close enough with those rough estimates.
Remember .... the fish are not going to be schooled in a flat pancake shaped grouping. They're usually schooled in a loose oval shaped group, covering several feet of depth from the shallowest fish to the deepest fish, so being "exact" with all the bait depths isn't a major factor. IMHO, anyway. I always just tried to have my baits cover a 5' depth range spread & keep the baits slightly above the school or running thru it.
