Couple questions for you veterans.

1. What are a few good trolling lures to use for early July and fall walleyes? also, what are preferred rigging methods.

2. Does anyone have any experience with the trolling plates that drop down behind the prop to slow the speed down on the outboard. I have a 40 horse Merc and can't afford a kicker for a couple years. Looking at buying one of these, but was hoping to hear from someone that has used one or heard more about them.

Thanks guys!
