It works great, I push off the front of my boat with 10' heavy poles, .8 to 1.5mph. with a 2oz weight. 20' of line out equals 10 to 14' deep plus or minus, according to speed. Enjoy! I also do this with cranks.
I remember last year about this time the jig bite was fading, or getting so light that I couldn't do much with them. Not going to start pulling cranks, so looking for some options. Can't see longlining and losing a lot of tackle, so pushing Roadrunners seems like a reasonable possibility...
Anyone else do this?
I know I'm going to need more weight above them to keep them down where I want them, but other than that it's all new to me...

I do it all the time! I run 1 1/2oz weight above it! Works like a champ! A lot of my double minnow style rigs I put a road runner style jighead on the bottom! Run from .5 -1.2 mph and the Slabs will slam it! I use my 14’ ozarks for it

I use 18 footers, braid line for my main line hooked to a 2oz weight from ScottV and then my rig below that using mono. Theory is that if I hang up I can break the mono and save the weight, more expensive part of this process. I run singles most of the time but like double rigs too.

I use 3/8 weight between two 1/8 runners about .5-.8mph and do ok. I use different bodies from straight to curly to marabou or even just regular Slater’s. Some are Colorado and some a willow blades.

Its probably my favorite method to fish, very productive.
I was wondering if Colorado’s would make much difference...

Wherever you are fishing that you would lose them pulling, you will lose them plus a 2oz weight pushing. Better use lighter line, or get ready to break some rods. And when the jig bite stops on the Rez, you better be pulling cranks or might as well stay home
