from what ive heard, just a very SLOW steady retrieve. u can use them to cover more water and help locate them.

Not sure about pushin em, I do however longline em about 60' behind the boat at 1.3mph. I know guys push em, just I don't.
I'm not sure but I would think you would have to put a heavier weight above them and then a leader to them. i don't think they are heavy enough to do it with just them

I have a question ... It may be dumb , but how do y'all gauge your speed ? For instance 1.3 mph . Is it a guess or is there a tachometer that reads out that low ?
I fish em off the front on the bottom of my C&C Riggs. Usuallyhave 1/2 or 3/4 ounce weight 8in above. Dress withSlabslayer, umbrella tubes, lake fork shad and tip with minnows most of the time. Push at .2 to .4 let fish tell me what they want. Mine are home made 1/8 oz with 1/0 red sickle hook. Will fish them without weight when fishing stumps or brush in real shallow water.

yeah, any $100 gps HH unit will work, but lots of people spend lots of $$ to go slow.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
