Trolling bags

[back on eerie 2016]

Do you think trolling bags are detrimental to you catch rate?

I am not a seasoned professional like some on this forum but I have heard just the opposite. A bag on each side helps to stabilize your boat and your speed control. It was also mentioned in a recent salmon class that the turbulence caused by the bags can actually help pull fish in towards the boat. Of course there are no hard and fast rules in fishing but I would not be worried about any negative effects of the bag(s).

In my case, with a straight IB, steering, charging, and cooling are all better with the added RPMs I need to maintain speed with 2 48 inch bags. I think that along with the speed control are definitely worth the effort of using them, I also installed 2 D rings about the boats COG so all I have to do is snap them on and put tag line on rear cleat
