Thread: Just Think'in

I've posted this before but I'll tell you how I do it. 12', 10', and 8', BnM BGJP but most folks like the Pro Series Troller(PST) 2 of each. Rods 90* to the boat amidships, with the 10's and 8's slightly further back. 10lb hi vis line speeds the process when you want answers. 300 series bandits, or Rebel crank R's do well. 12' rods are longest, 10's a little less and the 8's shortest. GOOD rod holders help keep the rods in the boat, I use Hi-Tek extreme's with great success and feel they are best. .8 to 1.8mph gps and zig zag till you find their depth then focus in and hold on. I run 6 rods alone and it's a ton of fun. There are old posts that explain lots more than this does. Have fun.

Thank you for your reply and the good information.

If you're by yourself, 6 rods can be work. After breaking a serious sweat several times doing that I only run 4 by myself. I've been getting a few on 300's but the fish usually don't get into them until the water gets a little warmer. You can also try and run 200's on your outside lines to see if they are more shallow. You can't be under them or you'll have an empty live well.
