Don't get drawn in to the lunacy of fighting a battle against an immovable object. Most of us have no problem understanding the situation and those who can't won't no matter what your argument is....

All weighted trolling methods go up and down with speed. Les and chowder are spot on with each method having it's pros and cons. An example of this is clip weights...they go up and down with speed change, but if the clip is 75 feet in front of the lure the lure moves very little up and down...put the clip 6' in front of the lure and you have a bait that will go up and down dramatically. On calm days you may want more action rough days less. A neutrally buoyant trolling system, jet diver, diving plug, etc isnt affected by speed much at all assuming you aren't crawling/stopped or going so fast the lure washes out.

All leadcore is highly speed dependant...that's why it's difficut to use trolling structure tight. Everytime you turn it sinks on the inside. Not a problem if aren't trying to be on the bottom to start with. Also once you start getting near 3 mph or over leadcore doesn't get down much at all. If you can find an old precision trolling book they do a good job of explaining the basic fundamentals, including line diameter and clip weights. All of this is much more important with walleye than trout.

Seaguar premier flourocarbon leader is the only leader I know of that has some stretch.... especially with more than 6 foot. Many of the leadcore makers have a dive cure and blood run has a dive cure for different lures.

You are reading it wrong....call the state police and every county and they will all say there is no travel ban! There are are rules associated and I'm not traveling myself, but you can. As far as if it's family I'm not indicting anyone from my easy chair. That being said if I knew for certain.....

There is no travel ban in NY....
