Trolling through summers heat can be the best way to connect with more fish more often. Fish that were concentrated near the surface or in springtime shallows have now gone deeper or spread more widely in a lakes open waters.
No other method can present an array of lures at such a variety of depths as trolling, while covering such a broad swath of water. But theres more to trolling than simply dragging a lure behind a boat.
Lead-core line is the easiest, least expensive way to run lures deep. Lead-core is just that: a single-strand lead wire inside a UV resistant braided nylon covering.
Pound-tests range from 18lb up to 45lb.
The line is marked by a colour change every 10 yards, which makes it easy to tell roughly how much line is extended. In general, each colour in the water adds 5 to 8 feet of trolling depth, depending on trolling speed and diameter of your line. The optimum speed we have found to trigger a strike from NZ trout is 2 to 3 km per hour, and the thinner 18lb line will run deeper than 36lb or 45lb line.
Woodstock lead core trolling line is a high quality line, made in the USA.
