LOL ... yeah, I'm set to do either (as far as baits), but Pushing/Pulling cranks requires a second series29 battery if I want to use that method for more than a few hours. My 42# 12v trolling motor does it's best, but much wind/waves and my time limit shortens.

I am probably wrong
My bait knocker is shaped like a D. Flat side has a slot for line to be in the middle. Curved corners have barbless treble hooks. Weighs about 6 oz. Slip line in the middle and lower with its own rope. Weight usually knocks bait loose from rock ledges or brush.
It just might go over a long slim weight to the bait where you want it. Really works well.

I have a plug knocker that's about 40 some years old, and has saved many a crank (single pole casting/trolling) :
.... but, I wouldn't expect it to work with a 2oz trolling weight (torpedo shaped). Now .... were I "Pulling" cranks (no added weights), then it might be effective. But, I'd still probably reel in all the other cranks before trying to free the snagged one.

I like whiskers fish too. I might try trolling crappie jigs on one side of the boat and catfish bait on the other side.

That Sexy Shad color is like a catfish magnet. I'm just about ready to quit using it, I've caught one crappie on it and no telling how many catfish.
