I am going to try it tommorow after work. I plan on pushing in open water that has alot of schools of shad.

great pics. thanks jim and rat. do you guys find you need more weight when fishing deeper? seems like the more line would add more drag and pull the cranks closer or under the boat.

Can I ask what type of rods your using and can you tell when you get a bite? Rod starts jumping or pulls down futher? I wonder if this would work in clear water lakes like we have up north?

I use 12ft wally marshalls. Theres no doubt about it when you get one on.Works in any water.

Jim does this work only during the summer time or can you use it anytime and Im assuming you use the 100 series bandits or does it matter?

Scott and I put 1 pole each out the front this morning and were pulling 2 each out the back. Wayne had 2 pulling also. I was using the 3 way rig and Scott was using about the same thing without a 3 way and both tend to tangle. We did catch some fish with the pushing poles but more on the pulling poles but then we had twice as many out the back. I am going to rig up like you do Jim except I have some 1 oz bullet weight left over from my bassing days that I will be using. Will pass on after next trip. Oh, Scott pushed a blade bait at first but no luck so changed to a Bandit.
