What are some favorite lures for trolling in the top 6 feet of water? I am more interested in shallow runners out on a long line. I am going to be row trolling so I am not looking for lures that get speed trolled with 10' of line out. Thanks

Location: Athens, Ohio		Jointed crankbaits can be trolled slower, since they give the illusion of greater speed. m

Location: Kenosha, Wi.		I agree with Mikie on jointed crankbaits. I have had good success with the Smity shorttails, Bucher shallow raiders and Swim Whizes.

Location: Lafayette, IN		Shallow Invaders make a great looking set. I also have had success witth Super Shad raps. They troll well up to about 5mph. So, on the shallow side of the boat these are my two favorites.

This time of year, double 10 bucktails would probably be a good option, and why not surface baits, and further, why do you think you need to troll on a long line?
The boat is the best attractor you have going, why not utilize it?

Believers on shallow eye
Spinnerbaits such as Willeys.

Location: oswego, il		The H2o Cranky Nitro would work great for this application. Hoosire hand made makes some nice crankbaits for this too, thie ones listed above would work as long as they float, I am not sure how fast row trollers can troll but I would think a sinking bait would get you too deep.

I am working clear water with a very light stain and a cisco based forage.
