I do all the above but I'm new at it also so I don't have much experience but can't wait to hear some of these guys answers. I've been pushing the small Arkie cranks off the front with a 2 oz weight from .9 to 1.2 mph. I push jigs with 3/4 oz. using 2 of the Arkie 2.5" curly tails around .5 to 1 mph.
