Seeing several post on this new technique of pullin jigs. Someone bring me up to speed on this, I'd love to try it.
If you are talking about long-lining, it has been around for a couple of decades, but like everything else, it is always improving. There are some guys on here that are really good at it that will be glad to help.
Not sure exactly what's it called. May be long lining. Saw a post last week from Kenyon and he referred to it as a new technique for him. Thant's why I thought it might be something totally new.
Kinda like pulling crankbaits except using jigs! !!!!
Very similar to the old obsolete term "Trolling"..........
:fish
What you want to know? I've done it a time or two.
just the normal procedure for doing it. I'm assumingfrom the other post it's similar to trollingQuote:

It's like pulling cranks you just go slower. to adjust your depth pulling cranks you use your amount of line out with jigs you control your depth with your speed. As RCC said make a long cast behind the boat, an 1/8 oz jig will go about 8 feet deep going 1 mph. I put my longest rods(18') to the front of the boat next is a 14' next is a 10 on each side. Then I run 6-5'er across the back for a total of 12. Hi vis line helps alot keeping your lines untangled when reeling in a fish. May sure to keep line tight when picking rod out of holder, that is where my customers lose most of their fish.Quote:

I can see why it is referred to as the old trolling way.
It's kinda the same but with a more specific technique.
Thanks Wayne for the info

Trolling depth depends on several factors. Weight and type of jig. The weight line (diameter of line) and speed trolled. I know some old timers that long lined here and got them using Southern pro Umbrellas with 1/8 inserted jighead and pulled them with 10lb test line. My recommendation is make sure and carry a gps to maintain proper speed when ya find out what works where your fishing. I'm sure most of those guys that troll will agree with most of this.:twocents
I've seen folks troll just about everything from Rattle traps , Bandits, hand tied jigs like MEATGETTER 's Spanky , Tube jigs , Roadrunners and with proper technique most caught fish.
How deep will a 1/4 oz go at 1mph?Quote:

1/4 oz probably wont go real deep that fast with a 2.5'' tube would be my guess.Quote:

For instance, if you are fishing 10 foot forward from the back of boat and your line enters the water at the back when you hold your tip 4 foot above the water, then a 30 ft. cast will put you around 8' to 12' down depending on how low you move your tip. Close enough, as long as you can hold speed. :scratchhead
This is why I dont longline or troll cranks. I am easily confrused.Quote:

Sometimes I only catch fish on the front ones. DP
