Pushing depth chart

I can't read the typed part G, does it give the speed at which the chart works?

No, it doesn't ... it's based on keeping your lines at a 45deg angle, regardless of weight used or speed.

For pushing jigs, I use the formula of : length of line out below the surface times 0.6 (when lines are running at a 45deg angle). So 20ft of line out below surface times 0.6 equals my weight running 12ft deep (20x0.6=12) ... or basically 6ft of depth for every 10ft of line out below the surface. When running cranks I add another foot of depth below the weight for med runners & 2ft for deep runners.

I just started pushing Cranks this year. I like those a lot better than I do the barrel sinkers. Looks like I'm going to have to invest into one of those moles. Thanks for sharing

Ken's TBC in Lake City has them from 1/4 oz-5oz.

Lucky for me I've got a got a good friend like Clicka who shared a few with me. Thanks Buddy. They work too.

Thanks G, I had seen that chart before- that's one of the reasons I wanted to try the inline trolling weights, I thought that was what y'all used. I was wanting the depth control to be as accurate as possible for pushing. Wasn't sure how or if different types of sinkers (bank sinkers, bass casting sinkers, egg sinkers, etc.) would affect depth or running of cranks while pushing.

No problem slabseeker, I figured you'd have a chance to try em out before I would. I'm hoping to get to fish Friday. Gonna try pulling and pushing at the same time. Will post a report if I get to go.
