View Full Version : Snap weights
Gentleman & Lady's
Try using snap weights,but still did-not know how deep ? I was trolling. I put out 50ft and then snap the weight on and then put out 50ft more with the weight of 3oz. The lake is real deep and fish I mark was 41 ft Was I close ?
Thanks

The 50/50 is listed in Precision Trolling. Without mine in front of me I'm guessing you were running around 30' depending on speed of course.
Thanks for the reply
another question since you mention it ,I have 60hp 4 stroke and only can troll at the slowest 2.9.Are they anything I can do to slow it down or is this ok ?

Most of my trolling is at 1.2-2.2mph. Slowest speed my rig gets is 2.5. 2 options:
#1 Trolling bags. I used to run them. Added 2 more cleats either side of boat mid way this keeps them away from prop. Some guys run just 1 larger one off the bow eye. They brought my speed down to about 1.3mph. DISADVANTAGE.. boat is hard to handle.
#2 Trolling plate. I just switched to running a plate. I'd recommend the Happy Troller. Used to run the Cabela's hydrotroll, they are junk. Had 2 of them and they both cracked. Boat control is very good and can get under 1 mph. DISADVANTAGE.. don't have a brain fart and forget to raise after trolling it knocks the snot out of them!
