Dunno how that works- if a fish bites on the short and takes line, you will be under the mid and long lines- unless the driver turns towards the fish. But still find this weird. I like the long on the console, a short outrigger, then on straight to the rod and a flat line. Four lines on each side, two on the center rigger, two teasers, one dredge on a 28`Pursuit.

Hey, thanks for your comment. We reached out to Captain Mike. He responded with the following: Hi and thanks for your feedback. You bring up an excellent point however there are a few other considerations that must be taken into account. These include target species, depth of water, natural or artificial baits being presented, class of tackle, prevalent conditions, trolling speed, etc. On this particular day, if I recall correctly as it was many years ago, this was the magic spread for the feathers and jets we were pulling for schoolie blackfin tuna. Fortunately, we never ran into an issue with numerous juvenile fish in the 5-10 pound class. However we both know that there is rarely if ever one particular trolling spread or pattern that is ideal across the board, and certainly trolling spreads vary wildly from angler to angler and from boat to boat. We're constantly making fine tune adjustments based on the above factors and more. At the end of the day, I always encourage seminar attendees and viewers that if something is working for them, then to stick with it and share even more of the details so we can all become more effective anglers. By the way, that Pursuit is an awesome boat! Let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day and thanks for watching!

This video is epic.

My taco clips are constantly false releasing. If I tighten enough to hold, they sont want to release with a legit bite. Thinking roller trollers...?

[@TACOMarine]

Hi Steve, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear the release clips are not performing. Will you please reach out to us at [e-mail] so we can assist in getting you replacement clips and understand where the failure is happening?

What speed u have to do the trolling

[@TACOMarine]

Thank you for your question. This depends on the type of bait you are using. If using ballyhoo, for example, your speed can vary between five and 10 knots, depending on current. If using artificial lures, speeds can fluctuate between eight and 17 knots, depending on lure size and sea conditions. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
