Anybody ever tried pushing lipless cranks? Looking at 1/4 oz red eye shads and baits like that. Some have really neat colors, just trying to keep the bait running relatively the same depth as the weight

Watch out for the Red Eye Shads. I bought a few, and the heat exploded them. Mine ripped open down the back, and I'd never used them. They did it in my box.
Those kinda baits are great to push with I've heard so I was gonna try some but the Strike Kings are literally a Bust!!!!!
May try the H20 express from academy. Bout $2 cheaper a pop
They got a good model number anyway. They'll work good in your H20B Xpress. :)Quote:

What G said, Arkys are deeper too
I had some small Rattle Traps that had single hooks and a spinner on the back. I think I had bought them for white bass years ago. I tried them and while I never caught crappie pushing them, the yellow bass loved them.
Put some red hooks on them and paint them some wild colors.....the crappie will love them. Attachment 168313Quote:

Those look great. Just make sure if you have to stop for any reason with those tied on to get them reeled up first.
mrdux....we push these with a three oz weight to control our depth......other wise they would go to the bottom.....we push them same manner as pushing the lipped crankbaits.
Need to find em below $5 each
Here is some....you will need to paint them though Arkie Crappie Lipless CrankBaitsQuote:

My point was the lipless baits will sink when forward momentum is stopped. If your weight is in front of the bait on a 3 foot leader and the weight is within 3 feet of the bottom, the bait will be on the bottom when forward motion stops. I hate it when that happens. It won't happen with the lipped cranks that float.Quote:

I usually don't push deep enough to be close to the bottom......but yep what you are saying is true
Are u talking about rattle traps. If so we used to push them off the pontoon
Yep That's itQuote:

Thx Strike King!!!!!
Hmmm first have to buy his weights....now I see his baits. I wonder if he does rods too... awesome colors.
You can see who has the pull. Last year when I reported the same thing happening to several of mine they were conveniently silent.Quote:
