Thanks guys…. So I do a ton of trolling, but it’s generally with two rods…
The lake I’m going to be fishing averages 10′ deep without much structure besides weeds on the first 100-200 yards out from shore. So we basically troll the shores, then the middle..
The reason I was asking for rod position is I’ve never trolled with more than a few rods.
I’m figuring I’d run the planer boards on the two rods closest to the windshield (9′ rods) with the shallowest running baits (likely a SS Shad, jake, or shallow dawg) and the rods straight out. The next rods I’ll run angled more with the tips in the water (planer boards not needed I’d assume?) and staggered the lines (one out a touch more than the other), and then a prop wash bait running deeper like a headlock or mattlock.
