    Everyone has there own method, but this is how I do it. I always start out around 1.0- 1.3 when I first start out pulling harnesses. I usually just use inline weights. I run all them all out different depths and Ill start running a straight line and if nothing fires ill make some s turns, and depending on what boards fire, I will adjust my speed, outside on turn fires, ill speed up my program, inside fires, ill decrease my speed. I prefer the #6 hatches, and 5/6 deep cup colorados. When the mayfly hatch is on, I will run smaller gold blades. If I want to troll less than 1mph ill switch to Ghost blades. But if I only had to choose one blade it would be Tommy Harris #6 hatchet......... Good luck

    This is a good method...

    Also keep in mind when you make a turn w/ lead weights the outside speeds up and rises the inside slows down and sinks. W/ jets the the outside speeds and can actually drop a bit and the inside slows and rises.

    So not only is the speed changing so is the depth.

    Dont be afraid to put on spoons and go fast

    Default Reaction bite

    We are finding something new this year, we are trolling way faster than one might think for the suspended eyes and its working well, we call it the reaction bite. Maybe something to think about when all else fails. Tight lines to all PAP.
