Dan ,
Not sure what Jerrys expierence has been but my 35+!years out there the 7& 9 oz jets got it done ✅
The heavier sizes pulled tight either on flats or mid rigger ! Hope this helps . I just adjusted troll speed to sea conditions .

An orange cedar plug trailing Jap feather dragged by Hawaiian bird throwing up spray and splashing like hell. GREAT lure

On the surface run off outside long outrigger it was a REAL attention getter

Ceadar plug white

Plain cedar plug

Go see Dave at the Reel Seat with an open wallet, the other store at channel drive has a good selection as well as Tackle world in Rochelle Park, get 3x owner trebles to replace hooks, and get some flat fall jigs in the 200 gm range while there- anchovy and sandeel colors

I second the crazy 8’s b/p and zucchini and the wide trackers are the bomb...especially when you find the thingy to move the keel and don’t use an Allen wrench anymore... it took one trip and a short reminder from a great tackle guy...RW

It's actually the small 1.7 oz or the medium 3.5 oz and the small runs better when it's flat and that's when I usually run.

So a lot of guys using the new side tracker bars. I'm curious, since the bars are going to track wider then standard bars where do you put them in the spread?

I usually put my bars on the inside riggers and run a lure on the outside rigger just behind the bars... If these bars track wider won't it interfere with stuff you normally put on the long rigger??

I’ve run them many ways but lately I’ve been running four one on long riggers and one off the rod tip under the short rigger same on other side of boat usually run a joe shuts or chain off short rigger.
