Trying out pushing cranks, my rods are to limber for the 3-4 oz weights . Wanted to know what you all use.

They are bigger, heavier composite rods but inexpensive and tough.
guber get what scott v has
PST's. they work just fine for spider rigging also. I've used them for both for a lot of years now.

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.
Wally Marshalls are a good heavy duty poles for heavy weights but they are expensive but they are a very good rod for pulling or pushing cranks! !!!!!!
Ok thanks gents. I just ordered the green stick and the hydraulics just need a tail rope now lol thanks Scott I'll check them out
