Long lining is also called pulling or long line trolling. Depends on who you ask. Spider rigging is also described as trolling, pushing, tight lining, or power trolling when done at faster speeds. It all gets confused because there are so many names for each technique. When I pull baits behind the boat, wether it be jigs or crankbaits, I call it long lining or pulling. When fishing off the front of the boat, I call it pushing or spider rigging. To answer your question, I think when most people refer to "trolling", they're talking about spider rigging.

I AGREE WITH ABOVE

thanks for the responses

I look at it this way :

"Trolling" .... is the family name.
All the various methods (pushing, pulling, longlining, slowtrolling, drifting, spiderrigging, etc.) are the names of the individual members of that family.
