Lot of very good information here. One I might add is the importance of calibrating your reels for consistency. There are a lot of good videos on YouTube how to do it correctly. I started trolling some for the first time about 3 years ago, never done it before and I learned so much reading in this forum. Guys are great with helping and its all been very appreciated. I have been quit successful right from the get go. Can't wait to get back on the open water!!!
