Been fishing a flow age where trolling is legal and have been catching a good amount of fish off of channel breaks. I've been dragging meat along the base of the break while casting to the top, in the past 2 years out of 50 fish in the boat only one a couple off came on suckers. The fish must be relating to the top of the break? As anyone ever ran a sucker on a planer? Breaks are steep with the boat positioned in 20 fow baits are landing in 5-8 fow. Going to try this before I just give up and just cast and cover more water in a day.

Ive played around with the Dualfins and they seem to work well on smaller size suckers up to about 12 inches. I havent tried them on anything Large. I have some left over from shows last year if your interested, shoot me a PM.

i doubt it's a problem of bait positioning. sounds like it's just a spot that casts better for some reason. suckers with planer boards is a royal pain and i'm not sure there is even a great way to do it, never seemed like a fish that wanted a sucker had any problem finding it or coming off structure to get it. i'd keep casting.
