Braid Speedster Bonita Pattern Usage
Generally, it’s better to troll crosscurrent rather than with or against the current. When trolling crosscurrent, you don’t need to worry about how the current is affecting your lure or bait’s speed. Additionally, fish tend to swim into the current, so trolling with or against it means you might be trolling directly at or away from them.
When trolling, the distance your lines should be behind the boat varies, but a good starting point is 50 to 200 feet. However, the optimal distance depends on several factors, including the type of fish, boat speed, and the specific trolling setup. It’s generally recommended to stagger the distances of your lines to cover more water and avoid tangles.
A faster boat speed will pull the lure deeper into the water, while a slower speed will keep it closer to the surface. By experimenting with different speeds, you can fine-tune the depth at which your lure swims. Keep in mind though, weight also plays a part in diving depth of trolled lures. Pro Tip: Monitor your boat speed closely, as even slight changes can affect the depth of your lure.
