[QUOTE="Norske, post: 160266, member: 409"] Don't overthink this until you get some experience trolling. An earlier reply has the right idea. Let out line until the lure hits bottom, then take in some line. Simple. Start with relatively clean bottoms, even fairly shallow ones. As for speed, let out at least 6' of line and drag the lure beside the boat. When the lure wobbles correctly, that's your speed, and you can let out enough line to get down to the fish. It's not rocket science, but pro fishermen have to sell books or software to pay their mortgages. If you're a successful bait fisherman, spend most of your time with that, devote some time to learning new-to-you techniques. Have fun on the water! [/QUOTE]
