Trolling lures |
One of the most effective applications for swimming plugs is trolling, which is something of a lost art. It works both inshore or along the beaches, where it’s fun and effective for a large variety of fish. As a general rule, when trolling, select a lure and trolling speed that allows you to get to the strike zone without hanging bottom. Obviously the faster you go, the deeper a big-lip plug will dive, but at some point the lure is moving too fast for fish to catch it. Most anglers prefer to troll at 2 to 4 knots on inshore waters.
