  1. So, is the basic concept: - A jug as a float on the surface, a long leader with a heavy sinker attached to the jug - Hooked leaders off the jug line? What is the "normal/reasonable" number of hooked leaders off the Jug Line?
  2. The above links provide some great information. I would also recommend Mariners School. The sea service time required is: 90 days in the last three years, either offshore or inland and a total of 360 days of sea time since the age of 15. The hardest part of this is ofcourse documentation. If you don't or have not kept a log book, it is tough to go back. I would encourage all youngsters to keep a log,even if it's a rough log; you never know when you are going to need it.
  3. Can anyone provide a description of the Jug Trolling technique? Advantages & disadvantages as well as a description of the rig itself? Thanks in advance for your comments.
  4. Quite possibly true Reel Drag. Offshore we run them deep, letting out about 180 feet in 300 feet of water. Our bait is run about 100 feet back. We don't seem to have any problems with any offshore fish. I have not tried them on the lakes yet. I may get an opportunity this year and we'll see. However, at slow speeds it would be hard to justify the cost -vs- the ball which probably performs just as good as the wing at speeds of less than 3kts.

  6. We have used the Z-Wing extensively for offshore use. They work great. However, they introduce a great deal of stress on your downriggers and the mounting points. Make sure your down rigger is mounted with through bolts. If using rod holders, be wary. I have spun the post in several rod holders. The advantage is that at slow (1 to 2kts) to fast (6 to 8kts) they get deep and the blow back is more limited than the balls. Capt. Ken Lahr Reel Draggin' Tackle
  7. Just stopping in to say HI. I am originally from Geneva NY, spent lots of hours learning to fish on Seneca Lake and the surrounding lakes. I am currently an offshore tackle manufacturer and a Charter Captain. I will be back in the Finger Lakes for the Trout Derby on Seneca Lake in May. Maybe I'll meet up with some of ya.
