    Some of you have been asking questions about pushing Arkie crankbaits useing trolling weights. Here is how to figure your depth useing the weights. I prefer 3 oz. weights. Name:  qu7ahe6a.jpg

    Do you catch same amount of crappie either pushing or pulling? Why do you chose one way or the other?

    To get the 45 degree angle with 3 ounces of weight what speed are you running? Seems I remember the charts for PULLING cranks calling for 1.8 mph. Is it about the same for pushing?

    You can go slower pushing.....amount of weight also depends on wind. I use three oz weights and set my speed watching the line angle. And if its too windy for that to work.....I go home. I usually run 1. 4 to 1.8 depending on conditions to keep line at 45 degrees.
