RE: Trolling weights
I assume you're talking about for Wahoo? Typically you want to put the trolling weight about 7 feet or so in front of the lure you're pulling. Bent butt rods make it so you can use less lead, if that's not an option, use rubber bands to get your line as close to parallel to the water as possible. Note that while high-speed trolling, rubber bands are not going to help. Some people rig the weights with cable or wire.... We just run the bimini twist to the trolling weight, then attach our lure to the back of the trolling weight as most of our leaders are at least 7 ft long. Don't use shiny swivels when connecting the weight to the line. Wahoo like shiny and will sever your line hitting a swivel while hooked up with a fish.
