We have tried to drift troll, needless to say it don't work the same as motor trollin because you don't get a constant pull to keep your cranks down where they need to be . When the wave pushes you you get a fast pull then when you are in the trough of the wave you lose your pull and the crank rises back up. But when you get a good 2-4 waves day these guys are right drop a worm harness with a bottom bouncer and let the boat do all the work. Now when that bottom bouncer gets the inconsistent pulls of the waves and the boat that quick change of direction drives them walleye crazy and when your rod bends clear over the boat it's not a snag you got yourself a walleye!! Good luck hope this helps
