Been fielding a lot of questions regarding the best method to trolling the imported polish shads from HRT. We found unlike trolling the Stretches the shads produce better trolled way back, 100-150 yards in the clean water free of the prop wash. We use 60 pound floro leader and 50-65 pound braid. Side riggers also help to spread and reduce cross overs. Best speed is 4-4.5 knots. We only troll 2 at a time. The middle hook has intentionally been removed to reduce mortality and create more movement of the lure. Hope this helps. Tight lines. Capt. Mike
