I have been pulling from front/side of the boat with a 12 and a 7 foot rod. Just have been seeing fish on the graph that are 5- 10 foot deeper than my cranks will go. So thought pushing with a weight be able to get them down and also do it on shorter lines. Have line counters and use 10 lb diameter braid already. Sounds like just need some weights and snaps and get after it.

That's when you add a weight when you are pulling cranks to get down deeper. I refuse to pull more then a 100 foot a line, to be honest about 80 is my max.

Here is a depth chart for pulling this chart is for bandits....the PICO crankbaits will run about a foot deeper than the bandit 300's.

I try to run mine 2 or3 ft. above the fish....they will come up to it. Main thing is you don't want to be under them. What crankbaits are you using ?

I've been using an assortment of deep wee r ( both the big and little ones), arkie 220, some bandits, just ordered some arkie 350. Have a few from bass fishing days that I've repainted. I try to stay a foot or two above them as well. Have had some success the last few years using the bandit charts and subbing in these baits. There close to bandits depths. Just this year seems fish are a bit deeper with all the rain we had early in year. The fish still in tree tops just there deeper this year. Why trying to rig a weight to get them down deeper.

OK....Here is how I do it....I use a 3 oz. trolling weight. ScottV on the MS board makes some good ones, thats where I get mine. You can also get them from Grizzly Jig or Bass Pro Shops. I run the 3 oz. weight 3 feet above my crank bait. Depth is controled by the weight. I set the speed where the line does not lay back over 45 degrees. Here is a depth chart for pushing to figure your depth....the depth is controlled by the weight. Attachment 303904

Nice chart. I shall tuck this in my tackle box for reference as my memory starts fading in older years. Sometimes younger years! Lol
