pushing cranks

Is there anyone on here that push crank baits?

Sure lots of folks do!

Yep

Well maybe I should have said in Arkansas.

I do sometimes. Mainly pull them.

Yes sir. I push them here in Arkansas

I'd love to see how you rig up to push cranks...

I’ll start pushing them in a week or so. I’ll take a picture of it.
It’s very simple. I use a 3 oz weight at the tag end of my main line with a loop tied in the main line a foot or so up. Same as a Kentucky rig. Put the crank on the loop.

My setup is similar to this other than from the swivel at the end of my main line I attach the 2 or 3 oz weight which has a 3 foot or so leader from it with another swivel to add the crankbait. Always worked well for me. I started "pushing" a few years ago because I didn't want to keep multiple pole setups. Now I have one set of 14ft Denali's that I can slow troll jigs/minnows or I can slap 3 oz weights on them and push cranks!

I use the same set up but haven't come up with a good way to store the weights.

Same for me.....i cut them down and use some duct tape on the outside to make the hole in the middle tighten up. Cut a few slits in the ends then stuff the weight in the hole and wrap the line around and the through one of the slits. Works great for me.

Yeah I would love to see a picture of that!

Yep, I push cranks in the summer, I use depth seeker line that has a black mark every 5 feet and changes line color every 25 feet. I put a swivel on the tag end of the line at the beginning of a 25 foot segment and attach a 2 ounce weight to the swivel on the opposite end of the weight I attach another swivel with a 3 foot leader that I tie the crank bait onto. Then I use the depth marks on the line to allow me to judge the amount of line out when I get a hit so I can set all cranks to the same depth.
