Musky Fishing Basics - Trolling Tips 1

[@ChadLeton]

A lot of gold nuggets of information in this one. I especially like Jeff's intentional use of different rod lengths to keep his down rod, long rod, and planner board rods spread. The use of weights AND a 6 ft. lead to manage weeds and keep your presentations running clean is imperative on weedy lakes. The speed at different times of the season is a great guideline and like Jeff says on any given day let the fish dictate the finer details. Another Team Rhino gem!

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

As always thank you for watching our videos Chad. Keep up the good work on your own adventures.

[@FrettholdBaits]

He was asked about tips for a beginner of musky fishing and he goes on to describe a 6 rod program lol

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+Lumber City Woodworking yes 6 rods might not be the most basic. In that case you'd be best to run just 2 downrods and add additional rods as explained in the 6 rod setup

[@russbatzer6970]

very nice! good info right there on the trolling speeds, especially into the fall as water temps drop, I wouldn't have guessed 3.5 @ water temps below 50-55. very informative. thanks again

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+Russ Batzer I'm glad you watched and found value in this video. I hope it helps put a few extra fish in the net. Good luck and thanks again for watching.

[@inferno715]

I’ll go 3.5mph until freeze up.

[@mrballinga]

Great Video--Could you comment on your drag settings when trolling please?

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Sorry we've been away from our channel. I would say the drag is moderately tight. Meaning a bait won't pull line out but I can definitely pull the line out by hand. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching

[@jakekeyes8638]

I really wish you would have touched on how much line you typically have out with certain lures and what depths you are trying to target and why.

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+Jake Keyes this will be talked about in a future video for sure. I think we even talk about depths and what we are targeting on next weeks video. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching and Good Luck Fishing

My rods are loose in my salty holders, it looks like the butt ends of your rods are way thicker. Is that a sleeve you have on them or just thicker butt ends?

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Sorry for the long delay on this reply. We haven't been real active on KZbin lately. They are the Chaos Tackle Original Trolling/Live bait rods. They are definitely wider

[@kaneda956]

I skunk out when i go trolling.. Does it have anything to do with me trolling with a Tohatsu 18 hp 2 stroke?? Just wondering.

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+kaneda956 I wouldn’t think so. It’s usually about speed and depth of the lure. Try being in the 3 to 5 mph range and don’t run your baits extremely deep. Hope that helps

[@captainsmate5770]

What are those rod holders called that tilt down?

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Rod holders from Fat AZ Musky Products.

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

I think you can also get some from Traxstech

[@jwat2s]

Nice video! Great info for beginners!🦾

[@brockus35]

All e-glass rods?

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Chaos Tackle Assault Stick Live Bait/Trolling rods

[@MrCrybaby95]

Awesome vid!! another option for keeping weeds off your baits is whiskers seakers. They are kick ass. Fishing in lake st Clair, you can get tons and tons of weeds. Not with these you don’t

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Thank you for the comment. I'll have to check out the item you mentioned. Thanks for the tip and for watching our videos.

[@MrCrybaby95]

you can get them at pro musky tackle shop online. 3$ for a 2 pack. Good deal

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+nathan cook Thank you for the information

[@MrCrybaby95]

I actually leaned quite a few different things by watching this video

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

+nathan cook That's awesome. Hopefully you find value in the next few also

[@miso77]

How many ounces are your weights ?

[@TeamRhinoOutdoors]

Weights will vary from 1 oz to 8 oz depending on how deep you’d like to get. Good luck

[@otsn-news]

NICE

+OTSC Thanks again for watching Dan
