ok so im wondering whats the best way to troll rapala magnums for yellows ? ive been told that you have to troll them with a torpedo sinker 5-6 feet ahead of the lure so it dosent jump out of the water.... is this true ? also is it better to keep the treble hooks or swap them out for tuna hooks ?
I troll the Rapala Magnums off the back of the Navy ships. They never skip until we hit about 9 Knots and that's with the rod 17 feet off the water. Just how fast was you planning on trolling them anyway? I think the above guys are right...tie the thing on the end of your line and go for it.
Most swim great some dont.You can tweak the bill a little to tune them
but it never worked for me.If they swim you them tell you lose them-if they dont swim bottom of the bucket they go.
Now go back in the bathroom an "Spank Hank" you ol' master bater !! Next time read the darn box or ask someone at the place where you buy them. That might help.
