Doodle Bug if you need to slow down more another trick is to tie a 5 gallon bucket on a rope and drag behind boat acts as a brake to slow you down.

If you know your lake and know where a sandy flat is located? Do you know that your heads all weight pretty close to the same? I make a med. cast out start your troll at .8 mph ease into the sandy flat watching your depth finder and see when you start bumping the bottom. write it down or make a mental note, That is the depth your jigs are running. I pour my own jigs and have weight them with a bullet grain scales. I know with in 3000th of a grain what mine weight. You would be very surprised that what the package says...really is not what they say they are. my 1/16 at .8 run about 9'.5 1/24 run around 5'.5 my 1/32 around 3'. bumping your speed up to 1.0 or 1.1 will really make a difference. also what type of line...this is important too. is it the same line on all your reels? 6lb test?

Tell your wife you need a 'variable' speed trolling motor for Christmas. Then you won't need to "bump" on and off and learning curve will be shorter.Sorry I haven't answered sooner, I've been gone for a few days. Thanks for all the responses. I'm talking about "pushing" from the front using a spider rig. According to my GPS, I was trolling about 1 mph, and that was about as slow as I could go. I figured I needed to go slower so I just bumped the trolling motor on and off trying to slow down that way, and that is when I started getting hung up a lot. I started taking up some line and that helped, but I just wasn't sure how deep I was. I can see now that this is going to need a little experimenting, but that will require me to go more often. Least that's what I'm going to tell my wife.
