i've been fishing on friend's boats for the last few years so i'm still learning. now have a small old boat and i'm keen to develop some skills and to drop the in line flasher and fish with plugs. i like them on the lake, i like the action and the faster trolling speed. i just like plugs and want to use them a lot for trolling. i've asked around and gotten some advice and i'd like to hear from any pros in here.
been told to run a dummy flasher directly from the cannon ball. not above it, but from it. anyone do it other ways? 12 foot leader if fishing shallow, 30 foot leader if more than 100 feet deep. how far behind the flasher do you run the plug and how far up from the ball? is it easy for the line to foul with the flasher?
do you guys tie the main line directly to the plug or do you use a leader with swivel? i believe the plug is not supposed to be rolling but maybe they do sometimes causing line twist.
any tips or corrections to my ideas above are welcome.
