Go to the MS board.......there is a sticky....crankbaits 101. Lots of good reading on this. Pulling crankbaits you do not use a weight.....you control depth by length of line out at 1.8 mph. Pushing crankbaits and controlling depth by weight I use a 3 oz weight. For pushing I use trolling weight rigs made by ScottV on the MS board. I use Okuma line counter reels and BnM P roTroller rods....I use two 14 ft. Two 10 ft. And two 8 ft.
