new to trolling

Yea that's my concern with inline weights (hitting the bottom). Think I'd run Jets off boards to cover the column in 40 fow and than run a rod or two off the side with inline weights/bottom bouncers. Going to be fishing some of the finger lakes in NY for the first time in June. Guess people troll 100 fow for trout and they can be all over the column so will probably use inline weights in that scenario. Jet 40's too. Don't really have the gear for that kind of fishing... It seems like it costs a few hundred dollars to get set up to correctly fish a new environment...
