Please do a Wahoo trolling rig video. Can a beefed up version of this set up work. 65lb braid main line to plainer or cigar weight to 400lb mono shock leader to lure. Or would I need a topshot from my main line to the weight or plainer?
I usually do not target wahoo but I have caught some nice wahoo on this rig. If targeting wahoo on the planer, I would consider beefing up the leader to 60# or 80# . 👍
Enjoyed your video, very informative! Marking the line distance with dental floss material is a great idea, one that I will use on all my trolling rods.
Great instructions, this means that the shorter line wih the spoon will be 250 feet behing the boat with the biggr planer and the other line, with the smaller planer will be 400 feet behing the boat right ? Isn't that too far or did I misunderstood something ? Thank you for all the goo advices !!
Been thinking of running a 40' planer off the stern cleat, then double snap swivel/rubber band setup to send a DTX 220 Minnow that also dives to 40'. Theoretically, I would be able to get the lure 80' down - will this work? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
How deep it goes will also be affected by your speed and size of the planer. Haven’t tried it myself but theoretically it should work. My only concern would be if it snagged the bottom (costly mistake). Good luck! Capt. O
When using this method, you must handline the leader. In the future I will be creating a video demonstrating how to make a “wind on” version. Stay tuned! Capt. O
Thanks! When trolling planers , we are using rods rated from 50-80 pounds. The key is that the tips are flexible enough to detect bites and absorb the initial shock. Tight Lines, Capt. O
@@CaptOrlandoMuniz Thank you I saw so many different opinions...yours is straight forward & to the point. For a weekend guy no need to go expensive....standard equipment......Thankyou
