| I troll with my tips in.....Some folks that fish with me think I an nuts. Until they see I catch all my weeds on the rod tips.
What do you do? |

| One of the only way's to keep the weeds off your lures out on Pewaukee in the summer is to have the tip's a couple of feet under! |

| I troll with the tips in the water and use downriggers also. The trick with the downriggers is bring a old 5 to 6ft musky stick to flip the weeds off the downrigger cable and downrigger rod line,with a little pratice this will keep them clean even in the worst floaters. Sometimes I troll in the floaters in the summer because that is where the active fish are,there is a whole food chain under those floaters and 95% of the trollers avoid them. Works for me!! |

| Take a big treble, cut the points/barbs off, split ring it to the swivel on your trolling leader.
This should catch a lot of weeds before they make it to the bait. It's a good trick that I'm glad someone turned me on to.

| I do both, I like my tips in the water when there are a lot of floating weeds as well as when I want my lures close to the boat.
I use large swivels on my trolling leaders because they catch the weeds, no need for anything else. [:sun:] |

| Interesting, and makes all the sense in the world. I'll do this when I'm in weeds this year.
This is the reason I like this site.
Thanks guys!
All the best,

| I don't usally do this but it serves a double purpose i think. It picks up all the weeds on the top and gets your bait deeper if you want it deeper. |

|
| Any bait I flatline while trolling has the tip in the water. Millfoil is not a kind weed at all.[:knockout:] |
