My best strategy to immitate the action of trollers is as follows. On extremely calm days when it seems the trollers have an incredibly distinct advantage, try fishing a heavy weight forward (5/8 or 3/4 oz). The trick is to fish it extremely fast anywhere from a 1-6 count. The weight allows you to get and stay deep, while still presenting a fast moving lure (AKA trolling). Don't be afraid to put plenty of action on it. I prefer a fire tiger weight forward with the red eye on the spinner. There have been numerous times we've had a poor drift and resorted to this strategy. Its a lot of work, lots of casts (you are basically fishing like you would for largemouth) but it can be highly successful
