Lol all ready have that one and z’s pretty good at finding rods that go over the side he found my custom made 7 ft one piece light action rod that took the plunge but I think it was because he didn’t want to build another one lolI found this for Uncle Melvin and Cousin ZeeManski. Since I don't have down riggers I thought of following this chart a bit. maybe some of these weights could be used to retrieve TC's fishing rods every few weeks.
Slower down One'st! What are you talking, 2,3,4,5?I’ll have to keep this in mind but I’ll be going way faster than 1.5mph.
I was thinking the same.I would guess that 20ft of line 2oz weight at 4mph would be close to 6ft depending on the lure you’re dragging and the shape of the weight and line size
Speed all depends on what your going for. Bigger fish go faster.You folks are speedy. I was trying to troll beetle spins and it is 1st or 2nd speed on the trolling motor. Towing a grub on 15 lb mono.
I hear you. I want your down riggers. Drop them on Parker Ave please along with those fish from A-5. I don't really officially troll. I simply put a 1-2 ounce egg weight on a Texas rig and go real slow. It is a great way to locate fish when you don't have a Fishfinder.I don’t troll, I hate trolling, I never will troll again, and like most boaters I have two downriggers that have been sitting in my shed for at least 25 years. With that said, I always thought 1.5 to 2 MPH was the optimum trolling speed. Can’t say where I picked up that little nugget of useless knowledge but its what has always bounced around inside my head.
