Trolling with 40 jets and big boards

[Capt Eric]

Capt. Eric, pulling big boards and the rise in the towline will change how my crank gets into the water column by a few feet. My inside rod when attached to the release and down the towline I usually stop it a 5 to 6 feet off the water and use that 5 to 6 add
to the line out, is this to much? Just calculate it just a couple of feet and forget about how far my release is off the water?

Your tow line is 5 or 6 feet above the water? Any way to bring that down? I don't compensate for that at all, because eventually my inside rods might become my outside rods, as they get moved down the towline....

I can adjust my towline height from about 3 ft to 13 ft above the water, just by pulling a leash line. Can easily lift baits higher in the water if i see marks getting higher.

One of these days, i'll get a video put together to demonstrate. Other than that, i posted before, and i'll say it again - open invitation to all - call me, if I'm here, walk down to my boat. I'll be more than happy to show you what i do and try to answer any questions!

I may be a bit over exaggerating but I usually let more rod line out to where it is just a foot or so above the water but just when its close to the side of the boat let say the first five feet of tow line it seem to be that five feet down to the water. I'll check it out.

Thanks,
Gene

Great to hear, also glad to hear that even though the td scales in at almost 3 oz......the have the size, shape, and buoyancy right to not appear to effect the dive curve in negative way. I would had guess between the weight and size it would had changed it. Wonder what it reads 125 back on it own......
