Bag Question

[Eyebanger22]

Thanks guys. What I was thinking was running a bag off each side from the bow. Not just one bag. What size would you recommend if I'm running 2 bags?

If you are using bags for trolling you must have one on each side otherwise steering is tough.
One bag will pull hard to one side.
Stop and see Dave at Dreamcatcher Bait, he will fix you up with a great
quality Amish bags. I have purchased various bags and you get what
you pay for.
Enjoy,

Thanks. So what size bags should do the trick? They say a 36 inch bag for our size boat. But I think 2 36 inch bags would be too much.

Most of the stores will let you exchange them if they aren't the right size, as long as you just go out and try out the bags and don't beat them up.

Scroll down after clicking this link...there is a picture there of how some of the pros rig their two bags. It's pretty slick.

Going to depend on the lake conditions you fish in, you are much better to go with a larger bag, than to wish you would have went bigger. Some days I don't need a bag, some days I have to put out a third one in the back to control. Next bags I get will be at least the next size bigger. Dave will be able to help you at Dreamcatcher Bait, he has different sizes. The Amish bags are more square and longer than funnel shaped bags. Best to see first hand if you can. I have purchased from Cabela's and a 36" bag is different than what the 36" Amish bag is. Hope this helps.

Frank is a top notch guy . Call him and he will get you set up with your needs with no problem . Many Many Captains use lots of his items so that should speak for it self. Best bags out there hands down .

I run a 150 yamaha on my 20 ft. boat. I use a trolling plate with much success. I can get down to .5 mph.

I use a 48 off one side and a 54 off the other... it seems to stay on course better that way..
