L.D.D (11/15/2007) Would some one mind repeating the recipe for trolling stretches? Ive heard use 20lb test, 100ft behind the boat. BUT,how fast? How can you tell how deep they're running? Mine never seem to hit the bottom?:banghead

I use either 20-30lbs test(depending on which rod)with at least a 12"steel leader. Steel leader is a must if you get hit by a king. I troll around 4-5mph. At that speed, I can see my stretch hitting the bottom when I hit 20-25 feet of depth. The current in the pass can play a role in how far they dive as well. I can tell that they hit the bottom due to the rod bouncing. I will usually place one stretch farther back than the other. Farther one is probably40-50 yards or so. I set the drag where it barely holds on till a hit. Set my clicker to on, and sit back and wait for the ziiiiiiiiiiiiing.
